I haven't gotten any strawberries in those baskets this year - mine have all been in the clear plastic boxes. I guess I need to buy local strawberries.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I think I need get some berry baskets for my classroom...
ReplyDeleteI see storage, weaving and other artsy goodness for this year!
Thank you for posting this! :)
I totally need some berry baskets. SO many things I can do with them.
ReplyDeletehow fun! I love berry baskets. I love berries.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I'd use berry baskets to hold lilacs. Great ideas - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo fun, great ideas, but I am with these other ladies--they have done away with the plastic baskets like this in my area also---Great idea to e-bay for them!
ReplyDeleteLove these "10 things" posts. Keep 'em coming! Hope your summer has been great.
ReplyDeleteI've been hanging onto a couple berry baskets with the intention of using them for crafts with the kiddos. Thanks for all the fun suggestions!

I love the little berry baskets for lining and putting my little beads and such inside.
ReplyDelete160 strawberry baskets make a lot of projects!
ReplyDeleteWe'd love to be in your giveaway - marisaharder (at) gmail.com
Thanks for the ideas!
Love the bubble wand!
ReplyDeleteI've always just let the kids free play with them which always ends up with smashed baskets. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteLove your 'ten things' lists!

Well, I think I need to buy strawberries just because of this post.
ReplyDeleteI laughed histerically when I clicked the link. Not sure what I would every do with 160 berry baskets! You might have to expand your list because I'm a few ideas short if I order the auction. Our berries always come in wooden containers. Now I'm on the lookout for these!!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny -- I just stumbled on your blog via your vintage spool article on Craftzine. I scrolled down to read some old posts and lo and behold, there was a link to one of my own projects. Thanks for linking to my strawberry basket Easter basket! It seems like we're kindred craft spirits in the way we like to re-use items. Keep those good ideas coming!
