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 thought if the baskets were anything like what I saw on the Internet, they were going to be spectacular...they are even better. Oh my Gosh! I can't believe how beautiful these are! These are incredible works of art and will be treated as such in our home and I am sure that I will be buying more from you in the future… Thanks for making my day! Pam
