Our story

about Countryside Basketry

We pour our heart
into every basket

My love basket weaving began when my daughter and I created our first beginner basket. Since that first basket, over 25 years ago, my hobby has grown into selling at local craft shows and teaching the art to new weavers. Today, I continue to share my passion by learning new techniques and inspiring others to join me in this hobby.

Our Happy Customers!

  • Beautiful stylish made baskets are very strong on useable. I purchased two of the hostess baskets to hold my many varieties of tea bags … now they are in one place and organized. Their service is also fast once ordered.

  • I have ordered for our gift shop in Sparta, Wisconsin many times. “Maiden Wisconsin” loves this beautifully executed and consistently high quality products and the pricing is reasonable. Never have we had one returned, but have had several return to buy another! Keep up the good work!
