This small but mighty sewing basket has done much more than carry my thread and scissors -- it’s also served as a reminder that art is rooted all around us. While I don’t know the history of this basket that I bought at an auction in the Rochester, NY area, I imagine a young woman weaving it by hand, taking special care to craft it sturdily and then add the soft painting to the top. The detail is awe-inspiring.

What’s included in the Sewing Basket Package:

• Original 6” x 8” oil painting, framed in a custom gray and gold frame

• Circular sewing basket with lid, measuring 8.5” x 3.5” (in beautiful condition)
