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
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
