#MarketFriday Basket

in #hive-1244522 years ago

Two years ago, it crossed my mind to buy a market basket. I first saw it from my local grocer. They were imported from Africa.

I since have been looking through the internet for the right size, but nothing out there was the appropriate design and size.

I want a basket that is large, with a handle that won't squash the contents, the way traditional grocery bags would. Just like one I saw two years ago.

There was ONE basket being sold at the Farmers' Market!


This one was made from Africa by African Market Baskets, popularly called Bolga Baskets. They are made by artisans in Bolgatanga, Ghana.


It comes with three reusable mesh for produce, which I think is so neat.


And a tag of the Farmer's Market!


It is the largest basket in the market, and I think it is worth the price tag.


This Bolga Basket cost $55.00. It was exactly what I wanted... like the one I came across 2 years ago. So... I bought it!


Pretty, isn't it?

The Bolga basket is so perfect for grocery needs. I want to have that kind of basket too. It looks durable as well. How I wish that someone would give such, or perhaps I could find one around our place.

I use the basket for groceries also. It is so convenient!
Take care @leticiafelize !

That looks amazing. I love that type of collection, I have a few at home too :)

They are nice, isn't it?
I put it in the trunk on my car, and take it out whenever I do my groceries.
It is very sturdy.

I use one in my laundry room, and one to organize my son's toys. They look pretty and serve the purpose very well

Such a great basket @silversaver888 and very handy.
We use fabric bags… but a basket like this would be better. And that the mesh produce baggies comes with it, what a great way to promote a better way of shopping.
Will get one, but after the move 😉
Thanks for sharing 😁

I never thought of reusable mesh, That’s a very smart idea, that way your basket stays in new condition @silversaver888 !😊 do you use this when you go shopping at the grocery store instead of reusable bags, looks like this could serve many purposes!🤗

Yes, certainly. I use it mostly for groceries which is our standard wet and dry goods. It accommodates the contents of two regular shopping bags, @silvertop 😊.

Being an import hand weaved basket that will serve you well for many years not a bad price considering the workmanship. A good eye for something different, enjoy shopping!

!WINEX

The craftsmanship is great, @joanstewart . I'm looking forward to many year of use!
Do you have a basket already?
!invest_vote

I had many over the years for variety of uses other than shopping.

Oldest I know is still in use at my brothers home from my parents house, must be all of sixty plus years old, used as a peg basket to this day. Small sturdy round weaved basket with solid weaved handle.

Your kitchen is so beautiful. My mum has a bag like this. She bought it before I was born. Whenever I touch it as a young girl, she would remind me of how old it is.. Africa has beautiful things and yours is just so beautiful. I love the colors used too.

You user name... is it an anime character ?

Yes, it's a combination of two anime characters.

Uchiha Itachi and Uzimaki Nagato.

I use a basket for shopping too. Mine is a little more woven layers of trees. I have shown it in a few posts when I am at the market. I am not even sure where mine is from, but, the one you bought is beautiful and I am sure you will find it useful! I like that it can be shaped and then reshaped.

Great find! You will have to let me know how well it holds up! Thanks so much for being a part of #MarketFriday!

Hello Lovely @dswigle.
Thanks for dropping by.
The basket is so convenient; it takes the place of my cloth bags.
Unloading is a breeze too.
You know that I love #marketfriday.

I love using baskets too, although I always keep a few cloth bags in my car, just in case! Unloading is so much easier, truth!
