Heirloom Christmas Baskets!

A couple of years ago I made a handful of Christmas Baskets using beautiful woven baskets which I filled with various vintage/new/handmade Christmas-themed items or toys.  I call them 'heirloom" baskets as they are meant to be a staple of one's Christmas decor and can be passed down through the generations.  After noticing how well-received they were at the recent Morristown Craftmarket, I decided to make more.  Here is the original very large, deluxe one I sold at that market and that inspired me to make more:

SOLD! Deluxe Christmas Basket with Vintage Items
Following are 2 photos, dimensions, and prices of each basket I recently made and are available for sale.  If interested, please e-mail me at shenshep@yahoo.com and I can send more photos.  I probably won't list in my Etsy shop ShenVintageCreations until after the Art Providence Holiday Show in which I will be selling as a vendor (held at the Providence, RI Convention Center, December 8-9, 10AM-6PM Saturday and 10AM-5PM Sunday (I will be booth #117)).

To tell you honestly, I was so enticed to buy your heirloom Christmas baskets! It is a perfect decoration in our house; a perfect way to welcome my visitors and make them feel the Christmas vibe in my house. Yes, some guys might say that everyone can do it, but it's not the thing here. What I appreciate about your work the most is the fact that you have worked so hard for it and you are really trying your best to continue the legacy. It is something that some people might not do.

    I am 59 years old, a wife of 27 years, a mother of a wonderful and independent 20-year-old daughter, a clinical psychologist who treats adults in private practice, and last, but definitely not least, an artist.  Whew!  That was a mouth full.  My passion is creating one-of-a-kind whimsical sculptural animals, dolls, and cake toppers (with a little multi-media collage thrown in for good measure).  I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoy making them!
