Using My Longaberger Baskets!

If you've been a visitor to my blog you've
probably noticed my Longaberger basket
collection at work, my very large collection
of Longaberger. Anyone that been a sales
 rep knows what I'm talking about.
I was my own best customer!. 

Here are some baskets at work in my house.

The stack of baskets at the end of the counter
are great extra storage.

This stack of baskets holds extra picnic
supplies, like paper plates, utensils, as well as
the seasonal fabric liners for these baskets.

I always have cocktail napkins in 

this small berry basket. They rotate

with the seasons. 

Paper napkins are handy in a large

berry basket

 Salt & Pepper at the table.

 Remotes, reading glasses, pens, scissors, 

pad of paper are kept handy on the
family room end table. 

 This one holds my chalk and eraser.

 Oils, vinegars, and a few essentials.

 The items in this basket change often.

 I have 2 small baskets hanging on a cabinet
 knob below the drinking glass cabinet. 

 They work great as a drink caddy/coaster. 

It insulates and keeps the ice and drink 

colder twice as long. #science #fact

It also protects table surfaces. 

I have little engraved brass splint tags

so that Larry and I can keep track of 

who's drink is who's. 

 The hall tree leading out to the garage has

 baskets for everything we need when we 

come and go; sunglasses, keys, wallet, etc.

 "It's in the basket" is the answer to most of

the "where is_____?" question. Although that 

usually doesn't narrow down the search. 

A recipe basket for my hand written cards.

I have fabric liners for summer, fall,

Halloween, and Christmas. Most of

my basket get a 'wardrobe' change

for the seasons.

The basket on top of the dryer in the 

laundry room holds dryer sheets.

The antique chamber pot is used to 

hold dry detergent or Borax.

A cup hook under the cabinet hold a small
basket filled with clothespins.

 Tissue basket...I think there's one
in every room.

 Bread basket used here for hand towels.

 Basket filled with small guest hand towels.

But, I also use them for fun. 

They are so pretty and such a classic look.

Here we are all set for a canoe ride on the 

lake behind our house. I'm using the picnic 

basket and wine tote. I've used the medium

 garters many times for different accents

 around the brim of my straw hats. 

Baskets...love looking at them and 

love using them. 

Cheers!
