I’ve been collecting baskets since I was in college. I love the various fibers, natural elements, sizes and shapes of this multi-purpose accessory for your home! 40 years later – shhhh – don’t tell anyone I’m over 39 😎… and I’m still collecting them!
Each year artisans and home stores become more creative with the fibers used to create these beauties – rattan, wicker, vines, bamboo, sisal, sweet grass, palm leaves and seagrass to name a few! They come in a multitude of hues to add warmth, texture and beauty in every room. Let’s get rockin’ and let me show you some of my favorite discoveries.
I’ll take one of each please! These market baskets can be used for everyday shopping (lose the environmentally toxic plastic bags) or as decorative accents in your home. Photo: TheUrbnite on Tumblr

It wasn’t until I decided to research this article that I realized just how many baskets I actually had! They are literally in every room, hallway and closet of my home! They are so much prettier than unsightly plastic bins and tubs!
