Who or What inspires you?
Everyone and everything. I love looking at everyone's work.

Right now that would be my tulip basket. The bright colors are great, and very springy. Better then the gray skies we have been having lately.

  4. Ok there were several items I liked but my favorite was the white and red rolling pin basket because I collect rolling pins and I had never seen a basket made like that.Also liked the remote control basket but around my house I would be the only one to put the remotes in the basket lol.And the stair step basket love that one too.
