Lovely baskets, very sturdy and well done. Glad it contributes to the well-being of the makers. This is my third Ghana basket...they are wonderful and colorful and most hardy. Barbara
Just wanted to thank you for your beautiful baskets. This is the second one I've sent as a gift, and your attention to getting them packed up and shipped is much appreciated. I have a big one as well, that was a gift to me. Just wonderful! Maggie
