After this morning's bright pink basket, I thought that we'd make something in muted tones. I love this purple, blue, and grey combination, don't you?
The second patchwork basket of the day is coming together nicely, don't you agree?
A few of our most popular product ideas have been generated by our 1840 Farm Community. You asked for fabric trivets and coasters and they have been a hit with our customers. Then you asked for a basket that had longer handles to be carried over your wr
It looks like it's time for me to settle in at the sewing machine!

You may have noticed that the inventory of handmade baskets in our shop has been slim lately. We're making new baskets every day, but they are selling faster than we can make them. Many of them have sold within the first five minutes and others haven't
