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 Vinyardor 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...



...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?Related Posts:

The baskets are beautiful. I have that exact wine basket. I'll have to fill er up and head to the beach.

Love the baskets. They look very elegant yet beachy.
Absolutely beautiful! They have a pure, simple and natural form. Love them! Where can I find them online?
I used these at my wedding...they are so classically New England! And I'm loving that top shot!
