Plant Stand

This basket is on my wish list. I'm so excited to get this basket. It's so cute and will make my living room look more like a country home.

It's shown here in plain. I am having mine made in blue to match my decor. It comes in a variety of colors. This is the only size as of right now.

You could use it for something besides a plant stand, but that is the main purpose. The legs are solid so it's made to hold heavy plants. A perfect addition to home decor.

Apple Basket

I have Apple's on the brain today. With fall comes Apple Crisp, Apple Pie, Apple Butter, and Apple Flappin's! {You have to come to the Sauerkraut Festival to know what I'm talking about.}

This is the PERFECT basket to store all your apples in. Or even pick them if you do that. It's comes in three sizes and a variety of colors.
{Basket shown in Large. 10" round x 8". The color is Green.}

{Basket shown in Medium 8" round x 6". Shown in plain.}{All baskets signed by the basket maker.}

They didn't have a small available. I hope they have one next time so I can get a picture and pick some up too sell. What a great Fall basket!

Baskets Everywhere

For the last week we have been tagging the baskets for the festival. We have less then half of the baskets at the house already, and our single car bay in the garage is full.

There are baskets inside of baskets. See those large hampers? Lots of baskets inside of those as well. And this is half of what we will have!

We have been tagging away and logging baskets for our records. Its a real process! But I think it will be worth it. While we were busy tagging and loading boxes the family dog decided to take a long nap on one of the mud rugs- which we will have a few of those as well.

I am working on getting a catalog put together for online viewing. Also in the works is getting a page setup with care for the baskets and history pages of a few of the families.

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Cradle

I never realized the Stutzman family made baby doll cradles before. It was only when Susan, age 6, showed them too me. They were on the top shelf and I don't always look up. She is always playing with her dolls. {Of course they don't have faces.} These will make the perfect gift for a young girl! Or even someone who collects dolls.
They come in 3 sizes; Small Medium and Large. They come in different colors, and with or without stain.

Susan wanted to put her babies into the photos. And I was so excited she was willing to let her baby down for a few minutes ;-) Don't you think these little cradles would make a little girl happy?!

Gathering Baskets

This past weekend we started gathering baskets for the Sauerkraut Festival. One family had boxes ready for us, other families are still making them in between harvest. It's a very busy time for them right now. But rest easy that there will be lots and lots of baskets for the festival. {You should see the garage!}
Noah Yoder has a basket "stand" outside of town. He likes to show the English the baskets they make. His stand was full of people, everyone was buying something. Here are a sample of some of his baskets.



We are getting excited for the festival. Hope too see you all there!

Wheelbarrow

Sometimes our Amish friends get really creative making their baskets. Maybe you want a basket that also would make the perfect decoration piece. This basket is too cute to pass up. They are great to hold pine cones in for a nice table decoration. In the fall you can decorate them up with mini pumpkins. {That's my personal favorite.} They come in a variety of colors. Also available with or without stain.

Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to inquire about this basket feel free to leave a comment or send an email. Once again we can't wait too see everyone at the Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville Ohio!

Market Basket

This basket has a special meaning to us. My mom actually helped design this basket. She told them what she wanted, and had a little drawing, and they made one up for her. After a few of our friends and family saw this they wanted one as well. So the Market Basket was born. It's a really popular basket. They make it in a variety of colors. Here it is shown in plain. They had sold one with colors already.
This is a great basket for anything. I have heard people say they keep blankets and pillows in it. Others have told me they use it for outings with the kids. We use ours for when we travel, it's great for carrying all the camera parts!

If you are interested in any more information about the Market Basket or any of the other baskets you have seen leave us a comment and we will get back to you! And we look forward to seeing everyone at the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival!

Flag Basket

It was brought to my attention today that I haven't updated with anymore pictures. With it being a holiday weekend I have been doing the usual "holiday" rounds. Since we are coming into Labor Day I thought I would share one of the Red White and Blue baskets.

This is the Small Flag Basket. I love love love this basket. Since my kitchen is American Flag, this was the perfect "anything basket". You can store fruit in it, breads, and even an assortment of tea's. They make this basket in a Large and Mini size. Perfect for anything!

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Labor Day!

Finally!

We are finally able to post some of the baskets we offer. {This was my fault really. I took over 400 photos and needed to sort through them.}

These photos were taken of the baskets the Zooks family makes. We enjoyed a nice sunny, and very cool for Ohio, day. I don't know who had more fun! Us taking the photos or the Zook children watching us placing the baskets for the photos. Here is a small sample for you all to enjoy for now. Lots more coming. {Remember the 400 photos?}
{Square Laundry Baskets. They come in Small, Medium, and Large}
