white splint basket
If you’ve been reading my posts over the past few weeks, you know that I have a new-found love for baskets. I collected a lot of them to sell at Lucketts and I enjoyed using them as props around the studio. During one of my shopping trips, though, I bought a basket for myself. It’s this beautiful, antique splint basket with chippy white paint… Splint baskets are made out of thin wood strips, so they are lot sturdier than baskets made from woven reeds, rushing, branches, etc. I haven’t seen one before with chippy white paint, though, and that’s what drew me to it. It has just the right balance of chipping paint with the wood peeking through. And how about that pie safe?! I mentioned it in a post a few weeks ago, but I haven’t shared much about it. I had seen it in an antique store
