Gathering Basket & Wool Storage Basket

I've listed a couple of new baskets on my Etsy site  - 

The "Gathering Basket" - 

The above is what I had in mind when I was weaving this basket - a nice collection of prim items displayed on my dining room table - a couple of butter paddles and a crock tied with homespun and dried pods.

This is NOT what I envisioned - but should have known...

Please note: NONE of the contents are included with the basket!

The Wool Storage Basket...

Little Mr. Shadow can't squeeze himself into this one - the top is too small!  Ha!

Rug Hooking Tote

Just listed on my Etsy shop - a great tote basket for rug hooking, or quilting, or knitting, or stitching, or..

 The bottom of the basket is a wooden base - great for support when you carry extra large/extra heavy loads.
1" wide brown cotton Shaker tape handles.


If all brown isn't your thing, I have another basket just like this one, but with burgundy handles & accents.

Another Berry Basket

Almost immediately after I listed my last berry basket, it sold - Thank you Teresa!  I just finished another one, using a slightly different color - this one is called "Thatched Roof".  Love that name.  Wouldn't that be a great job to name paint colors?  We are testing out 2 different grays to paint our house, one is Stealth Jet and the other Dark Cavern.  Do you major in adjectives to get a job like that?  Sorry, back to the baskets......  Small Shaker Berry Basket


The second basket is this little storage basket made with antique clothespins for legs.   

                           
As an added bonus, this basket will arrive with 5 antique clothespins in the basket if you wish to use it as a display basket in your primitive laundry room.  

Both are now listed on my Etsy Shop.

Thanks for visiting.  ~Ann

Antique Clothespin Baskets



I love to repurpose items and these baskets are just that!

Using antique clothespins as legs, these small storage baskets are perfect in a primitive home. 
Dark denim or maroon not your color?  I'm happy to take custom orders.


Upclose so you can see the "legs" aka clothespins. 
These are available at my Etsy shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/1803ohiofarmbaskets
