Zooks New Baskets

When we went for our visit last weekend, the Zook family wanted to show us some of the new baskets they wanted to try. I told them I would add them to the collection and see what people had to say. If you like the baskets, or the idea of these baskets, let me know! {Comment section or email} They would love to have some feedback!

Kitchen Organizer

This one will hold silverware and paper plates on one side or both. You can also have napkins on one side or both. What a great idea with Super Bowl Sunday coming around! Another idea that I thought would be fun is to use it for arts and crafts. I have tons of scrapbook and paints around, this would be a great carrying basket.

Mail

I bought this basket. Not for mail but to keep the dogs leashes and potty bags in. We hung it right by the front door! We also put key ring holders on the bottom and hung our keys there. It's so nice to have everything in one place.

Remote

I think my husband inspired them on this one! Ha-ha. He told them about all the remotes we English have to use our TVs, DVD players and in his case video games. Next thing we knew, they made this basket. And it looks so cute on a coffee table! I don't mind all the remotes now! {The basket is set up on an incline, it has three slots for items and you can see everything because of the levels.}

Jelly

The Zook family has two versions of Jelly basket. This is the newest one. They thought you could get a better look at the jars this way. It will hold 4 large jars.

We are headed over to the Stutzman farm tomorrow to celebrate Maddie's {mother} birthday. They LOVE pizza and only get it when we bring it over for special occasions. We are also going to make a cake and take too her. I'm sure ours won't be as good as theirs, but it's made with love and from scratch!

If you are interested in any of the baskets shown, or any of the baskets your have seen, please send us an email at buggybaskets@live.com

We have Launced!

After many, and I mean many, emails about a catalog we decided to make an online viewing gallery. This is a good way for you too view most of the baskets that we have too offer. As new baskets get made, and they are making some really neat baskets this year, we will add it too the gallery.

If you want more information about any of the baskets, please feel free to send us an email. We have pictures of the insides and other views of the baskets. Too save space we just did the basic photo. So don't hesitate to write us about any of them. Just a reminder that all baskets can be made in any of the colors they offer. Please take a look at the gallery and let us know what you think! Thanks for coming back to the site and checking our progress. We can't wait for the festivals to begin again this year! Our goal is too make it to a few more this year.

The gallery will always be available on the right hand side of the blog, check out the section called "View Our Baskets".

Presenting our online viewing gallery.

Tis The Tissue Season

It's the time of year when the world is in need of lots of tissues! I know here in Ohio we are in the bulk of winter and go through a box a week. {Gotta love sinus!} The Amish know the importance to tissues as well and have made up some wonderful baskets to accommodate all home decor.



We had a customer at the Sauerkraut Festival let us know that the plant basket the Zooks made fit on the back of the toilet and can hold tissues.

These are a great gift idea or even a nice winter gift to teachers and Sunday School teachers!

If you would like more information about these baskets or any of the other baskets you have seen send us an email at buggybaskets@live.com

Bird Houses

Winter is finally here in Ohio! The winds have started to pick up as temps drop to freezing. Most of us put extra bird seed out for our little friends at this time. Another thing that we usually put out are bird houses. Or maybe you collect bird houses to place in your home.

These are unique baskets. They are bird houses that have a removable bottom, copper top, and are made in two sizes.


These bird houses sold so fast at the festival and at open houses. Most people didn't want to put them outside, but they are fully coated for outside use.

If you would like more information or to place an order for these baskets/houses leave a comment or send us an email at buggybaskets@live.com

Boats

This was one basket I wasn't too sure about. When my husband saw this in the Zooks' Basket House he wanted it. It goes with his bathroom theme; wilderness. {He has black bears, moose, tree's, etc.}

We have this in our bathroom now and it's cute. We got it in green so that it would make the paint. I like it when guests come over and the one thing they say about that bathroom is how cute that basket/shelf is. Guess my husband has taste after all.

This is the large one, it's really really large! If you have lots more space then we have this would be a great "man" basket :-)



If you would like more information about this basket give us a ring at buggybaskets@live.com . {Ring isn't the right word is it? Ha-ha}

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from Buggy Baskets! Hope you have a safe and wonderful day!

Basket Open House: Centerville Ohio

Last Sunday we had a Buggy Baskets Open House. We had about 100 baskets at the house to sell, and also took a few special orders. Lots of holiday gifts were purchased that day! It was so much fun meeting and seeing some of these women again.

The hostess had everything set up perfect. Adding detail to every inch of the house. We had baskets on the kitchen table, formal dining room table and on the chairs, out on the covered back porch and down in the basement on the pool table. It was over whelming and the women had many to chose from.
We had several cases of jams, pickles, apple butter and relish for the party. This is all we had left, and that was in the middle of the party. I know we sold out of apple butter.
This was too cute. The little bear in the sled was a perfect way to show how pretty and cute these can be for decorations.
The bear in the cradle was to perfect. Lots of people came up with so many creative idea's for this cradle.
These are recipe boxes. I fell in love with the red and green one. I think it would be perfect to put Christmas recipe's in it and give it as a gift. Never would have thought to use it as a candy or nut dish. Told you people were creative with these baskets!
Snacks and apple cider were provided for the guests. It was a nice social gathering for these women. You could grab a glass and walk around and pick out your holiday gifts. Now that's shopping!
