I do love the baskets & really want a gorgeous wicker one for the picnics we regularly go on. unfortunately all I have are the storage baskets without a handle. I would love to pop to the shops with a gorgeou basket though rather than my canvas bags 1 day I will have the money to buy 1, until then I just have to keep dreaming.

Please add me to the basket obsessives on this thread. My local charity shop used to hold them for me as I always bought every one that came through! (I finally told the lady to stop as my house is full of baskets). I really thought I was the only one too!0

I remember taking my cookery bits to school in a basket too! Now we are showing our age girls.

Oooh another one here. I am basket mad! they are all over my house, storage, laundry baskets but I have to confess to further wicker tendencies. I also love wicker wall storage, chests of drawers, bamboo mirrors. I have so much of, it mainly collected in charity shops and boot fairs, that I have to cull some of it occasionally.

Ah, I thought I was the only one, too.
I will never forget the time I saw a stair basket in a charity shop for £2, and didnt get it on the day...Went back the next day to get it (after a sleepless night wanting that basket), and it was still there, but was reserved for someone else. That haunts me to this day.
I just bought a small version of 'the shopping basket' from a charity shop, for £2. Its so cute!! Another charity shop bargain was a strange gardening basket with a strip of elastic round it for holding tools, like this but much bigger - http://www.bountifulbasketsdurango.com/store/images/2009_0410oddsandends0027.JPG
The other thing I really like is wooden bowls. I have quite a few, but my favourite ones which I can't afford are those made of a knot of Yew or Walnut...lovely, but I have none''A moment's thinking is an hour in words.'' -Thomas Hood0 -
I too had a basket for home economics, we all had one, in fact thinking about it I'm sure that it was compulsory and part of the school uniform for all girls to have a basket for cookery. (boys didn't do home economics back then, they did manly things like metalwork & woodwork :rolleyes:).
My basket had a gingham waterproof cover like a big shower cap and I loved it.Dum Spiro Spero0
