Two French Baskets, oh so different!

Sorry, this item is sold

This is a serious shopping basket - just made to take to market and fill with delicious cheeses, fresh herbs, a bottle of wine, then home to hang up in a rustic country kitchen...You can see more photos here in my Ebay shop, but hurry, or I might just keep it for myself!

Sorry - this item is sold

Gorgeous little wire basket, with the flowers made from metal - a little kitsch perhaps, a little 1950s - so cute!

Fill it with cupcakes, scarves, cotton-wool balls, fruit or just to display in the boudoir or bathroom...

Lots more photos in my Etsy shop 'vintagemaison' here - take a peek...

Incidentally, the background of the shopping basket is some great French fabric - it's a large red Vichy check - a big version of gingham I guess - just perfect for hemming and making into a picnic cloth. Or, how about some fabulously cheerful bunting?

I've got a some metres left from another project, so if you want some at £15 per metre, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Why do cats like baskets?

This is Felix - or Fatboyfat as we like to call him for obvious reasons - how the basket didn't topple over, I'll never know...

Here is Tiger enjoying a snooze. He might be Tiger by name, but not by nature - he is simply a coward, but a bit of a gent too.

Neither of them are supposed to be in the business part of the house, but do you know what? Although I run my business from home, the cats are part of our family too, and that's what our house is - a family home.
