[year] Bountiful Basket
And now for the basket…
This is the 2009 Bountiful Basket that I had made to celebrate Southern Plate’s one year anniversary.
It is entirely handmade by the American Traditions Basket Company in Canal Fulton, Ohio from Hard Maple trees that are harvested in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
It has a custom engraved brass plate attached that I designed.
Comes with a handmade, machine washable liner and plastic protector and features two leather handles.
And has a special “cottage style” weave of cranberry and off white.
I chose cranberry because it reads red and would also be great for decorating for Christmas, Valentine’s, and Fourth of July.
This is in addition to having on your dinner table filled with rolls on a daily basis!
And each comes with a lifetime warranty.
This basket measures 11″ x 8.25″ x 5.5″ and is the perfect size for filling with fresh baked biscuits, storing your apples, or any number of uses around the house.
Each year I am going to have another basket made exclusively for Southern Plate. They will all match this color scheme but be different sizes and styles and have a different name as their part of the series.
I thought I’d offer you the 2009 Bountiful Basket, first in the series, in case any of you would like to have one as well. Please note that this is not a hard sell, I just wanted to offer it because I really love mine! These baskets may only be ordered during the month of August, 2009. I will turn in the orders and have them all made at the end of the month. You should receive them the first part of October.
For this first one, we’re also doing something special. Myself, My Mother, and My Grandmother (three generations) are going to sign the bottom of each basket. This is the only one we are going to do this for.
This basket is made better than any other I have ever seen, and I’ve been collecting baskets for a while now.
If you are a basket person, I know you’ll enjoy it.

Happy 1st Anniversary and many more!!! Your site is just great and I keep up with you on it often. Have printed many of your recipes and I really like the Chocolate Gravy Mix Christmas gifts and tags. I’m sure my daughters-in-law will like this for the teachers of our grandchildren. It is NOT too early to be thinking of Christmas love that will be here before we can get it together! You are crafty, witty and a great cook and a great hostess. What more could we your waiting audience need?!! Thanks! Betty S.
I stumbled onto your site while “blog jumping” and I just love it. I have been living in Las Vegas for 9 years now after growing up in Alabama (Cullman to be exact, I am sure you have heard of it! lol), I really miss Southern cooking, Southern stories and I love reading your southern talk! You sound just like me and my family. Not sure which team you root for on Saturdays in the fall, but that basket will look really good nestled among all my Alabama Crimson Tide collectibles! I have your site bookmarked and look forward to seeing your site everyday from now on. Thank you for bringing me a little piece of my home all the way out her in Vegas!
A beautiful basket! Baskets surely help make a house a home.
it is simply beautiful. It would be a wonderful way to start collecting something that would remind me of the person who finally helped me learn to cook!
Ahh I hope that I win this basket because I am home sick :).. Love it so nice..
I am from Bountiful (the city), love everything “Bountiful” and am so glad you named your home “Bountiful.” I can’t think of anything nicer than a Bountiful Basket 🙂 It is beautiful.
What a fantastic idea! It is a beautiful basket. Thanks as always for the fabulous site.
