Just want to say how delighted I am with both of the baskets I purchased from you. These works of art are so well-made and functional and, best of all, supporting women in Ghana. I took my new shopper with me yesterday and was pleased with the quantity it could hold and I could still lift it! Thanks for your advice. Claudia
