This basket covered jug is a fav of mine. The tag says California Brandy 1887 and when we got the jug there was brandy in it....original or not who knows? The jug came from my hubby's great uncle's home and he was 92 at the time that was about 36 yrs ago. The cork in the top dried out and I was not to sure about the contents so I emptied it out. Most likely a mistake, but too late now.
Some baskets I made on the shelf in my pantry.
I made this one and the little door knob basket too. I don't know if I even remember how, but maybe I should get back at basket making.....
The basket I got a couple of weeks ago. It now holds extra throws under the coffee table in the living room.
So I am joining Misty over at 1890 Gable House Musings for her Tuesday Chain. So come on and join the fun. Who does not love baskets?

Oh my word girl...those baskets are beautiful!!!! What a wonderful talent you have..I couldn't even imagine trying to make one...it would look like a squirrel that tore thru a bird's nest or something! I can't believe how great these are! What treasures! Thanks for coming by sweetie...loved seeing your baskets! Picket
Love this post. I adore American basketry and have a small collection of antique, hand woven American baskets. Love your collection. Sea Witch
I love baskets! You have a wonderful collection, and all the more precious because you made some of the baskets. We have a local basket maker in our area who sells at the same bazaar I sell at every year, and I try to obtain a basket from her every year.You SHOULD return to basket weaving.
Fine inscription here I especially really enjoy the fashion you write down your pages . I will carry on to visit your web page in the time to come to comprehend other major web publication contents akin to this one! This is an overwhelming publish here.
As a final point , let me thank you for your understanding with my English as (I am convinced you have figured this at this moment ,), English is not my main language so I am using Google Translate to shape out how to write what I actually plan to say.
