I loved the baskets as a child but never owned one, Mum thought they were naff.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659929017085133209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-22642148908590109712011-03-24T22:09:27.726+11:002011-03-24T22:09:27.726+11:00I have been looking for vintage patterns for awhil...I have been looking for vintage patterns for awhile now. The only ones I can find are on the internet and are extremely expensive! Love the basket too. I don't have a clue what "naff" means but I'm thinking it must be really good!Kelly Rhoadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533283214320938904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-77334182670574185792011-03-24T17:19:28.540+11:002011-03-24T17:19:28.540+11:00you wouldn't believe i have one of those naff ...you wouldn't believe i have one of those naff baskets - mine is a shopping basket with Mt Fuji on it - now a magazine rack !<br />I really like yours, what do you suppose the plasticy stuff is ?<br />Wonder how you make them ?<br />hehe a new generation of naff basket makers in the ranks . . . .remember how crochet used to be naff too . . .Killiecrankie Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306254588211569227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-28649104126196721162011-03-24T15:36:47.842+11:002011-03-24T15:36:47.842+11:00the quilt I was talking about keeping!

(those patterns look just great in the basket)<br /> I am so sentimental that even though I may not like things at the time - if family made it I will keep it anyway. Believe it or not we were told if you want to keep it do, otherwise just give it away. I am so glad we didn't!

They are delightful, maybe we could start a revolution and bring back the card basket craft.<br />A great way of recycling.<br /><br />There could also be the resurgence of the dolly with the crochet dress that goes over the toilet roll. Hmm! Maybe not.

Don't know where they ended up but I guess at the time being very young I too would've thought they were very 'old lady'....<br />BUT fast forward a few years and I can see them in a completely different light. Maybe its nostalgia, don't know. But I do love wicker baskets and always keep an eye out for the perfect one.<br /><br />Claire :)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.com
