Tuesday Tip

Woven washable baskets. Get some!
 Panama Woven Washable Baskets 

This is the first time I have ever published a Tuesday Tip that was on the pricey side. But when I discovered these baskets from Williams-Sonoma Home, I thought it was worth passing along. The baskets look just like wicker, but are made from polypropylene.The retail price is $69.99 (I bought my for $59.95 at the WSH outlet in Leesburg, Virginia) which seems a bit much for just 2 baskets until you consider they can be used over and over and even left outdoors!

If you don't want to wash them by hand, you can put them in the dishwasher!!!
I love real wicker and have 2 pull out baskets for fruit/vegetable storage (with liners) in my kitchen,
but the germaphobe in me loves this more!!!

I can think of dozens of ways to use them, but here's what I did with my pair:
I've told my daughter to put whatever she needs for the pool here.

 My other daughter has one for all her summer items too. Now if she would just put her things away...teenagers!

  16. These are lovely and you'd never
    know they aren't the real McCoy!
    Thanks for the Tuesday Tip : )

    Your "dog-ter's" basket is cute,
    too! My dog-ter has a wire
    basket for her stuff, and like
    yours, never picks up ~ ha!
    Reminds me of the toddler years
    when you have to go around
    and pick up at the end of the day!
