Baskets, Baskets, Baskets

Who doesn't like baskets?

Baskets are a great way to corral some of our things. A word of caution is in order though. If your way of organizing is to just keep buying more baskets, it may be a sign you have too much "stuff."

Do you really, really need another basket or do you need to thin out your possessions?

If I had my way, my house would be completely full of Longaberger baskets. I finally chose three of my Longaberger baskets that I really loved and sold the rest on ebay. Thank goodness they tend to hold their value so I was able to pay off the bank loans required to buy them in the first place - only kidding. But they are pricey!

The one on the right is only about 9" deep and the handles fold down. Perfect for sitting on the floor behind the front seat of the car.

The one on the left is one my hubby won in a drawing. Longaberger had a demonstration of how they made their baskets at the Spokane museum so we actually watched the basket being made. Fascinating!
