The basket that I ordered for my daughter's Christmas present arrived yesterday. It is beautiful, the colors are so perfect, and they look just like the picture. The basket is sturdy, and the handles are very well made. Thank you so much! Marteil
I saw a woman at the shopping center today with one of your baskets. I couldn't take my eyes off of it - it was so beautiful. She directed me to look up Baskets of Africa and I'm so thankful that you have such a beautiful site! They are so incredibly gorgeous. With the deepest of thanks to the Amazingly Talented and Beautiful hands that made my baskets!!!! Sherri
