Baskets

I love baskets and small wooden trinket boxes.  I used to have so many baskets that they covered one wall of  the dining area in my house. The mother of a friend of mine sent me a wonderful picture:  It says "You can never have too many baskets." And of course, it is pictures of baskets.

In 2005, when I divorced, I purged my collection, keeping only the unique and interesting baskets.  I have not added to my basket collection recently.  In the past, people who knew me well would add to my collection with some wonderfully unique baskets.

I am going to the part of the world where I grew up.  I have been thinking about things to do, and have a good list.  I realized that one of the Sunday afternoon drives that I used to enjoy was the trip to Putney, Vermont, where we visited Basketville http://www.basketville.com/retail.php.  Most of the baskets I buy come from garage sales or flea markets.  The baskets from Basketville are probably out of my price range. I might go there, though. Who knows.
