So where do you find a “green and yellow basket” when you need one? You Google it and come up with this amazing cake creation by Brianna.

Green and Yellow Basket Cake

Yes, this really is a cake!

As I said in my Love Baskets! post, I love baskets. Every shape. Every kind. I used to have a great big one for my dog’s multiplied marrow bones but it disintegrated with age. (Could have built our own museum exhibit with them–“This is what a cow looked like, kids”.) We threw the bones away and started over.

So, I went on a search, looking for some really great examples of types, uses and styles of baskets. Here’s what I found…

Bunny Basket

Wouldn’t this make a beautiful centerpiece?

Easter eggs for the holiday.

Fruits or flowers the rest of the year.

Did I hear “cookies”? That’s a lot of cookies, kiddo, but works for me!

Nesting Baskets

This is my favorite. I love baskets that fit inside each other and MATCH. I love matching things.

decorative baskets; wicker baskets; storage

These furry friends are obviously enjoying my favorite baskets, too.

Fruit Baskets

Amazing what some green grapes can do to create just the right look!

And then there are…

CATS in a BASKET

Hey, if they can be “in a hat”…they can be in a basket. 🙂

Basket on Wheels

Professional Stunt Baby…do not try this at home.

Of course, we just grazed the surface in the world of baskets. There are laundry baskets, grocery baskets, Easter baskets…what other kinds of baskets can you think of?

What is your favorite organizing tool? Mine has to be baskets. I love them. Wicker. Plastic. Wooden. Wire. All types of baskets.

We just recently renovated our home and we opened up the kitchen big-time There was a wall between our kitchen and dining-room that had to come down. On holidays, especially, we were cramped for room. We have a wonderfully large family. Four of our five children now have families of their own. Ten of them, with spouses, plus twelve grandchildren and three great-grands. We were bumping into each other!

So, we took down the wall between the kitchen and the dining-room and put a peninsula where the wall had been. The counter-space is wonderful but, as counters do, it attracts more clutter. The mail collects there. Dishes that are “moving” from the table to the sink can get hung upon that counter. Whoa, can it get messy!
