This month’s French event is all about baskets.
I’m not sure that I have any baskets that are specifically ‘French’
but I do have a love of a baskets
Like this large basket used as a coffee table in the cottage
or a stack of these baskets in the corner of living room
I literally set a great basket back down just last week
knowing I had one similar to it.
And now I’m thinking about it
and wondering if it’s at the thrift store…
Am I the only one who does that?
Enablers unite… 😉
So here are a few of my favorites
and my favorite ways to use them.
#1. Rolling along
Yep, don’t know what it is about a basket on wheels- but I know I like it.
I also love it’s soft weathered, whitewashed finish too.
The ones I have are very vintage and fragile
but usable in a simple way like for holding flowers.
was talking to me. Loudly.

Courtney says
Thank you! I just stopped by your place this morning…. love your baskets and how you use them as well!
Kim @ Savvy Southern Style says
I would say many of your baskets are French or a French style. I love them all and I like you pick them up and look at them when I find them and have to justify bringing it home.
Courtney says
Thanks Kim! I love your baskets- especially the ones with the markings on them. Going to be on the look out for some now- and yes, I am already justifying bring those home with me 😉

ANDDDDDDD-The baskets have it!!!! I love them-especially old ones. I have several that belonged to my grandmother and feel fortunate to have them. I have loved them my whole adult life. You see that "baby basket" you have there? Well, it may be MY OWN because MyHero took it upon himself to take it to the THRIFT STORE when he was unsupervised because (as the argument went) Well, we don't have any babies to use it anymore. I won't even tell you where the rest of that conversation went! lol
I love all your sweet baskets and I think that one on wheels is perfect, too. Have a wonderful Sunday. It is so nice to see you posting again, Courtney. xo Diana
ps. I just visited Kim-SSLiving and she is posting all about baskets today, too. Great minds think alike…….
Courtney says
Oh my! I have two of those 'baby' baskets- love them both and I imagine that they might have been taken to the thrift stores by men who might have paid the price when they got home ;). Thank you for stopping by! 🙂
Jasmin says
Can you please tell me where you found your dining room Chandelier's? Pretty please!
Courtney says
Hi Jasmin,
The chandeliers I have have been discontinued for awhile now- but- stay tuned because I will be sharing a source for some chandeliers that are very very similar soon 🙂

You have a lovely collection of baskets and they are displayed so nicely in your beautiful home. Thanks for inspiring me to look for more.
Anita at Cedar Hill says
Gorgeous!! I love all of your baskets, but especially love the look of the baskets in your armoire. Now I see that I need to set out a basket I have in the shed and stack some other baskets on top. Love them all.

Where did the door wreath holder come from? I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Thank you

Beautiful, beautiful baskets Courtney…I love the collection that you have stacked, that sweet white basket with your signature roses and that pretty bicycle baskets to welcome family and friends!…

Whenever I am out and about I look for baskets. Love the way you have styled yours with a French flair.
