I'M DREAMING OF BASKETS

A Tisket... A Tasket

I'm DREAMING
about BASKETS

I BASKETS

So much so that
I have a huge collection of them.
When we moved years ago,
I remember my husband saying
"Why are we moving all of these baskets?"
My response
"Why wouldn't we?????"
Silly husband, don't you know there are
SOOOOO many uses for baskets
and SOOOO many different kinds.
Take a look and see what I mean...

Going on a picnic

and bringing some wine

or storing some wine

They work if you're going on a trip

They make good
LANTERNS

or

LIGHTING

over a counter or table

Stenciled

STORAGE TRUNKS

or ones with LABELS

make great TABLES too

They're great to hold

or display things

Some are great just hanging around

Some have wheels

Some rest on shelves

or in closets

Some are BIG

While some hold plants

and herbs

There are even some...

that aren't baskets at all!!

Whatever kind you have,
I'm sure you'll agree
BASKETS
are great to have around!
You never know what you can use them for...
How do you use your baskets??
