One day while reading blogs (Maude and Mozart) and reading Facebook (Dying to Stitch), I saw this long narrow basket. The basket was filled with smalls. Displaying seasonal smalls is one of the many things I enjoy about needlework. My challenge with displaying smalls is they sometimes get lost in the dough bowl or basket. The 1803 Ohio basket looked perfect for smalls as it would hold a large number.

My tastes are traditional and this egg basket is one of my favorites. One of the items on my bucket list is to take a basket weaving class at the John Campbell Folk Art School. Yes, I am one of those crazy people who wants to take a walk in the woods, select the tree, split the tree and weave the basket. Some would call this crazy, I think this would be a perfect vacation.
Another blog (sorry can't remember the name) had used baskets to display hooked rugs. I use this laundry basket to store and display quilts. Don't tell Callie Mae or I will find her curled up in the quilts asleep--she's a smart kitty. Another way to display hooked rugs is in a crock. Mother any time you want to pass the kraut crock onto me I have the perfect use for it--soft and warm not smelly.
Seeing the 1803 Ohio basket was a great way for me to justify some of my time spent on the computer.
