Local artisan markets are always appealing to me. Guests from the USA took me to the basket shop today. When they said there would be several baskets, I had no idea what they really meant.

We were greeted by ladies trimming baskets.

There were several rooms stacked to the ceiling with bags of various sizes and colors.

I had one of the bags that I selected made into a purse by these gentlemen.

This was such a fun trip, and I was quite pleased with my selections when I returned home. I've already had occasion to gift two of these, so a return trip is a must!
