Ooh, those clogs are nice! I love straw baskets but I am afraid they easily get broken. They don’t come cheap here.
True! The clogs are amazing. I just love clogs. For me, they are perfect everywhere, well, except for formal events. LOL. I saw the wicker baskets in the US and I almost fainted with the price. We can easily and cheaply buy those in Dapitan back in the Phils. :) And you can haggle too!
Great items for those serious about gardening. My mother-in-law has a similar basket to the Bamboula that she purchased at their local farmers market. She uses it all the time not when gardening though but every time she goes to the farmers market.
I do imagine those kinds of basket to very all-around. I’m sure they can be used in the laundry or even during picnics! :)
Noce garden products to choose from. That YardShark Heavy Duty Pruning Shears comes in handy to us.
Yes Kuya. They are certainly nice and of high quality.
I have no luck when it comes to planting. I tried it last year but epic fail. lol.
Same here. I’ve probably bought a whole greenhouse and they all died! Just kidding. But I seriously don’t have any green thumb.
I love gardening and seeing the beautiful basket in your post gave me an idea what to do with the pile of basket I have here at home!
Sis, that’s a great idea! Do post a picture in FB or feature it in your blog. I want to see your creative flair ;)
The tote bags are too pretty to hold garden tools! Haha, I would love to have the denim apron. It can be used not only for gardening but also for cleaning the house.
I agree. They’re too pretty for gardening but the good thing is, they’re washable.
I love the bags featured above and my favorite one is the first on the list. It looks simple yet beautiful. Perfect tote bags!
I love the Rurality Fashionable Straw Storage Baskets. They look cute! :)
