Twenty years ago I bought my first African basket in a second hand shop.
They are virtually indestructible, only the color fades over time.
They are also useful, very light and they carry a whole lot. Suddenly I see the baskets everywhere, including on the net.
Through Handmade Charlotte and Dai Design I found Baskets of Africa an online store with a great selection of beautiful Fair Trade baskets from Africa.

Gorgeous colours! Too beautiful to carry to our local Tesco to do the shopping but definitely a must for a visit to the local market, somewhere nice, on a sunny morning, perhaps to buy some nice bread…and coffee…
Sorry, Marion it is dull and grey here again!

Not only dull and grey here Lois… also cold!
Hope the colors of the baskets helpt a little to imagine warm and sunny weather…
