Patriotic Decor

bouquetofbasketsLeave a comment

It’s so easy to create a little Patriotic Vignette in your home. Start with a tray basket. First add some red checked napkins with some cute napkin rings. Next place it on a blue tablecloth or runner. Lastly add some little Red, White & Blue hearts, or bottles, or coasters. So easy. ⬇️♥️⬇️🤍⬇️💙

Or you can use these cute little Red, White & Blue Baskets. Put them anyplace you want a pop of Color such as a small shelf or a tiered tray. ⬇️♥️⬇️🤍⬇️💙

Or you can use an All-in-One Red White & Blue Basket such as this. You can hang from a peg and add little flags, red flowers or little windmills. ⬇️♥️⬇️🤍⬇️💙

Happy Sunday & God Bless America

Foraging and Harvesting Baskets

bouquetofbasketsLeave a comment

This time of year is busy for my Foraging and Harvesting Baskets. These are just the right size for gathering mushrooms, leaves, flowers or anything you like to pickup along the way. You can also use them to carry your every day items or a notebook and some pens. I make them with a long carrying strap so you can carry over the shoulder, or you can carry cross body. You can find a couple of these right here on my website http://www.bouquetofbaskets.net or I have a larger selection on my Etsy Site See some of the different options below, but as always, these are handmade so very easily customizable. Hope you are having a great weekend and Happy Foraging!!!

New Water-based Stains

bouquetofbasketsLeave a comment

I started finishing some of my baskets with a water-based stain. It’s easier on the nose and the environment. I still have the previous colors, but am experimenting for the winter. So far they are going over well and my customers are loving them. They will become a permanent part of my collection Check out my Etsy Shop (link below) to see these colors. Available now over there

A New Idea

bouquetofbasketsLeave a comment

Some of the best ideas come directly from my customers. I had one ask me about making a bell. Well I didn’t see any patterns I liked so I just tried a freehand version. Here it is.

At first , there wasn’t enough “flare”, so I tightened up the top. I think it’s something I may be offering in a week or so. Stay tuned.

Primitive Pumpkins

I make these guys every year just for a few months. I use beautiful hand felted wool from some exquisite Etsy Shops.

TYPICAL FALL COLORS

I use some wire for the tendrils, and a cinnamon stick for the stem. They are stuffed with polyester beads and new fiberfill. The string is 100% hemp.

Hope you love them as much as I do.

NEUTRAL COLORS

FYI- These are from a pattern I purchased from SewManyPrims. If you like to sew, you can make them too. They are a fairly easy pattern to make, but you do need a variety of supplies for them.

If you have any questions, ask away !!!!

Website Experiment

bouquetofbasketsLeave a comment

I’m doing an experiment. I have my Etsy Shop on break for a bit and I have only my website up for ordering. Etsy does push a lot of customers to my site but lately I have been pushing almost 50% from my social media sites. I have Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. Facebook not so much but the other two… much more. I’m going to try this and see how it goes. I’m thinking I’ll do a trial run of one month and see what happens. Wish me luck!!!

On another note, I got an order for 4 of the same baskets. These are fun to do but can definitely be challenging to get them all the same. I only had to make 5 to get the 4 alike. Below is a photo of the 4 They will be shipping tomorrow🤩🤩🤩

And Happy Flag Day. Without this wonderful flag and this beautiful country, I wouldn’t be living the dream of owning my own business, being my own boss and doing what I love. And making money at it. ❤️🤍💙

Free Shipping

bouquetofbasketsLeave a comment

Yahoo!!!!! I set my website up for free shipping. It will work perfect for 1-2 basket orders. If you are going to order more than that, please contact me. I’ll send a discount code for a multiple basket purchase. Likely around 10% off, depending where you live. We would likely be able to ship together and save some money.

Yay!!!! Free Shipping!!!
