Champagne buckets


What is France without champagne buckets??... even if I can't drink it myself [totally allergic!] - and I know what I am missing!! - the allure of the classic metal vessels to hold bottles of illusions and bubbly fun is never to be taken lightly...
[I have used these buckets for flower displays to very lovely effects...]
