First thought? Chocolate eggs, naturally.
But what about baskets and especially at Easter. They come to mind.?
There simply can never be too many baskets and as they are now a fashion staple and statement it is time to take them seriously.
Smart designers have re-designed the basket and launched it into the hemisphere style and price-wise. As much as I like them I cannot bring myself to invest heavily in a designer basket; not after years of buying basket wares in French markets for next to nothing. Like everything they have increased in price, most of them originate in Morocco and are still a wonderful option.
Decorating them is the answer.
I have hand-painted mine, monogrammed and sewn ribbons and details all over them. Start with a simple bag and add the smallest amount of detail, like a pair of pom-poms on the handles, or sew all over with any amount of fun.
It’s not quite the same as wandering around a Provencal market to find the perfect panier but it’s the next best thing. xv
