I just got my basket and absolutely love it. I want more! I think it is a great thing that you are doing, and I have to believe that the women that make them are directly benefiting from the baskets they make. Thanks again, and now I must shop. Beth
Everyone I have given these handmade baskets to just love them. Then when they read the story of where and how the baskets are made it makes them that much more special. Charles
