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.
Fruit Baskets
And then there are…
CATS in a BASKET
Hanging Flower Baskets
So, so pretty.

Mail Basket
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?
