Classic cane baskets are all fine and dandy, but sometimes we just want some wickerwork in the shape of a tomato. Or an acorn. Or one ripe, solo grape. We stumbled across this Flickr page from the Abbe Museum in our online travels, and it sure is making us rethink what a basket should be. Hand-woven from sweet grass and birch bark, and embellished with shell and bone by clever Native American craftsmen, we can imagine toddling down to the market with a cob of corn on the crook of our arm, feeling pretty happy about life indeed.
