I absolutely LOVE antique baskets, but can't afford many of them. I now have 4 wonderful antique baskets. The handle is very heavy and worn smooth from years of use, it feels wonderful in my hand. Are you ready for the price on this beauty? 
$12.50! I just couldn't believe it. I have seen similar baskets for up to 20 times the amount I paid for it at antique shops and flea markets. My DH asked me when I was going to sell it to make that profit, I'm sure my look stopped him in his tracks. I don't think it's going to leave my sight for some time to come. I was a little nervous that I'd have to fight off another shopper in my quest to own this basket. I kept glancing at it at the checkout table while I continued shopping. It was meant to be MINE. Thanks for letting me scream at all of you - I'm just so EXCITED!
Have a great weekend. ~Ann

ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. Why is it that the men always have profit on their minds? Scott would have asked me the same thing. Can't wait to see it!!

Ann,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I love, love that basket!
Secondly, we were at a flea market last night and I bought a huge antique basket with the wooden skids on the bottom, it's shown some wear, and also was painted white at some point, but I bought it for $15.00. My husband doesn't get it either ~ I think cuz we weave they don't understand, but he also knows I love antiques.
I'm happy you got that great old treasure.
