Basket Decor Nantucket Island Style

I love Nantucket style baskets...

... not only do these baskets come with a rich History but for me they also conjure images (and some memories too) of summer days in coastal New England, on Nantucket itself, neighboring Martha's Vinyard
or Block Island.

Originals date back to the 1850's and the tradition lives on with today's basket weavers...

...and to no surprise they're also massproduced, made in China...

...you've probably seen them around...

...they come in all shapes and sizes. From the classic baskets with swing handles...


...to fruit and wall baskets...

...napkin holders and utensil caddies for a buffet setting...


...even a basket decor theme table lamp, a bath accessory set, not to forget the Wine Basket that I was recently hooked on...

...and lastly, here on a print. What's not to love about them?
