BASKETS.......

                             FOR THE LOVE OF BASKETS


                             
Over the years we all collect baskets of all shapes and sizes.


We paint them....

Decorate them......

Use them for storage..........

Well I have one that is a Potato Basket.....







When I saw this basket in a unique florist I knew I had to have it!!







I loved the old look it has to it.................








It keeps my potato's fresh..............








The easy opening at the front to pick out potato's.............






I keep it under the white hutch..................





Fits perfectly................


A conversation piece..................


Do you have a basket to hold your potato's?

   


                                                 Thanks for visiting!!

  3. So this is what I need to keep my potatoes fresh? I never knew where to put them, I leave them in a bowl and they get yucky on the bottom. Thanks for sharing your cool basket.

  6. I love your potato basket!! I think it not only looks great, but serves a good purpose too. It's perfect under your hutch. I like the texture it brings to that area. I have lots of baskets, but not one of those. Wish I did. It has a great European look to it. That was a great find!

  8. Wish I did have a basket like this to hold my potatoes. But then again, we don't eat alot of potatoes, so they would probably rot before we finishe dthem all.

    Love the texture, shape and colour of this basket. Very cool.

  10. I love baskets, and was very happy to live in the Black Forest for three years, not far from a town that specialised in the making of all sorts of baskets...bliss!
    I keep my potatoes in a wire basket that might have been meant for eggs. It's nowhere as pretty as yours.

  11. No basket for my potatoes, just a HUGE blue pottery bowl on the bottom shelf of my cabinets in the kitchen. Your basket is perfect. As Suzan Sweatman said in the first comment, "this bloglandia stuff is getting dangerous for me..."

  14. No, I keep mine in the bag they come in, but I'll be rethinking that now, this looks awesome! What a great idea, looks so much nicer than the bag. :)
