12 Feb French Baskets by Celia Lindsell
Stunning gifts to give a loved one this Valentine’s Day are the French Baskets from Celia Lindsell. These baskets are inspired by the Classic French baskets and are extremely elegant and eco-friendly. They are absolutely ideal for weekend trips, the beach, the market or picnics.
There are four designs available; a standard basket with a red heart, a standard plain basket, a giant basket with a white heart and a plain giant basket. The standard basket is 55cm wide and 35cm deep and the giant basket is 80cm wide and 55cm deep.
I have a standard basket with a red heart and it is gorgeous. The basket is hand embroidered in cotton ribbon with a vibrant red heart motif. It also has strong double studded leather handles in a medium brown colour that compliments the natural colours of the basket beautifully.
The standard basket is a very good size and is ideal for carrying produce from my local fruit market. I also can’t wait to use it when visiting the local park or the beach, as a picnic blanket and light snacks will fit nicely into the basket. All I need now is some sun so I can give it a try!
The heart motif on the basket is one of my favourite features and adds an extra feminine twist to the basket. The heart motif also makes these ideal Valentine’s Day gifts.
Celia Lindsell also has some other fantastic lifestyle accessories that would make gorgeous gifts for a loved one. The full range, including the beautiful French Baskets, can be seen at www.celialindsell.com and is definitely worth a look.
