Accolades & Praise

"something new and fabulous"

When they arrived, I fell in love with them and the client did too! Having an eye for very fine things, she was impressed with the incredible quality and caliber of the basketry.

Interior DesignerJane Antonacci Design

The basket I ordered arrived today. It is a beauty! I’m quite knocked out over the quality of this basket. It’s given me basket-itis.

CollectorRon R

My basket—beautiful! Wanted to let you know that I received my basket today and it is wonderful! This may be turning into an addiction. Thanks so very much.

CollectorBarbara D

Our basket gets admiring attention when we have guests, and from time to time we just pick it up from the low stand it is on and marvel again at the workmanship. Thanks for your follow up!
