Just want to say how delighted I am with both of the baskets I purchased from you. These works of art are so well-made and functional and, best of all, supporting women in Ghana. I took my new shopper with me yesterday and was pleased with the quantity it could hold and I could still lift it! Thanks for your advice. Claudia
My baskets arrived safely on Friday. They are all wonderful, all of the highest workmanship. All I can say about the beaded copper basket is WOW. It is absolutely fabulous. When I hold that basket up to the light and look at the bottom of it, it looks like very fine lace. Catherine
