Basket Giveaway

Earlier this month, I decided to open an Etsy shop with my baskets.  You can find me HERE on Etsy.
In celebration of this new outlet, I've decided to have a giveaway for all of my current followers/customers. 
A few "rules" for this giveaway -
1.  You must be a follower of this blog - 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets
2.  You must leave a comment on this post
3.  You must live in the USA to have free shipping.  If you like the basket and you are a follower from outside the USA, you can still enter.   Here's what I'll do for those outside the USA -  I'll pay the first $5.00 shipping and you can Paypal me the difference. 

The measurements on this basket are:  8 1/2" long, 6 1/2" wide and 4 1/4" to top of rim.  The height of the handle is 9" and the handle swings back and forth, although it remains in whatever position you leave it in. 

I've lined the basket with a torn piece of homespun.  There are narrow maroon lines running both horizontally and vertically through the piece.  This material is easily removed for washing.

  Thanks for following me and Good Luck!  I'll draw a winner next Sunday night 1/23/11 ~Ann

"WOOLENS" Basket

Don't I always say "I Love how this basket turned out?"  I do! The colors blend so well together - the aged label along with the painted & stained basket is perfect.
Approximate measurements are:  6 1/2" wide, 12" long, 6" to top of rim and 10 1/2" to top of handle. 

Olde Century Lamp Black paint and my homemade black walnut stain finish off the basket. 

The label is mounted on a thin wooden plate and then attached to the basket.

$38.00
 includes shipping to continental US

Star Wrapped Basket

I created this small-medium basket yesterday.  I was inspired by the pottery stars that I purchased from http://indiantrailpottery.blogspot.com/.  I found the maroon twill tape in a prim shop this summer knowing that it would be perfect in a basket. 
The basket features a solid wood bottom (round) and side handles.  Approximate measurements are:  10 5/8" to top of handles, 9 1/4" to top of rim.  Top diameter is 8 1/2" and bottom diameter is 5".  The sides flare out gradually. 

Stained in my own boiled black walnut dye. 

$40.00

Divided Magazine Basket

This is a great basket for magazines or newspapers, but could also be used as a project basket for knitting or rug hooking. 
The basket is constructed on a wooden base/handle combination that bears the entire weight of the contents.  Makes it perfect for keeping all your favorite prim magazines in!

The cross-stitch detail is made up of two different materials:  the horizontal strip is 1" wide maple that is laid over the vertical spokes and the stitching that holds it in place is narrow hamburg cane that has been dyed a deep maroon.  A fun technique that adds a different design element to this basket. 

Approximate measurements are:  height to rim of basket - 10", height to top of handle 13", length is 15" and width is 12"

$60.00 includes shipping
 (no international shipping on this due to size)

Cyber Monday Basket

Thought I'd join the Cyber Monday event and offer this basket to you.
 
Approximate measurements are:  5 1/2" in diameter, 7" to top of handle and 4 1/2" to basket rim. The basket is stained with boiled black walnut stain.  I've filled the basket with faux greenery (prim style of course!), 3 prim candy canes and a blackened tea light.  I tied a homespun bow around the basket to add a little prim charm.  All of these items are easily removable for use after the holidays. 

Cyber Monday price is $22.00 which includes Free shipping to Continental US.  If you are international, please email me for a shipping quote.

Ewe 'n Me Tote

This little tote basket would be perfect for small knitting projects, needle punch projects or even your lunch! 
After lashing the rim into place with reed, I over-lashed with a black homespun.  I LOVE how it turned out. 


The five rows of color at the bottom and top are black.  The basket features a closed bottom(no holes) and a push in handle.  The sheep accent is a painted wooden item that I found at a basket shop - too cute! 

Measurements are approximately: 12" to top of handle, 8" to top of rim,  7" wide and 9" long.  The entire basket is stained with my boiled black walnut stain.
 
$30.00    sold, Thank you Robin

Continental shipping is included in the price.  (International orders are welcome, please email for shipping quote)
