Package just arrived. Baskets are gorgeous. Black one is very striking, love it. I think the lace beaded one is incredible. So very delicate. It is beautiful. Front and center on my English antique piano from the 1800's. Surrounded by almost all African pieces. It is just lovely. Thank you so much for great service and beautiful items. It is nice that you send the actual piece you show. Thanks for everything. Ann
Just a quick note to let you know how happy I am with my shipment! It already arrived today and exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship of all the baskets is great; one of the Gambibgo Pot Baskets in particular has some of the finest weave and artistry I have seen. Thank you so very much for including Alaska in your shipping policies and for shipping the baskets so lightning fast, I honestly didn't expect them for several more weeks and it was such a wonderful surprise.
