Antique Berry Crate

Hey my friends!

I found an antique berry crate with baskets at a local Antique Mall.

I have had my heart set on finding one.  And there it was!  Waiting for me…

The little berry baskets are very unique, and I’m sure would look great holding any type of berry.

But I had cherries on hand, and some delicious cherry preserves :)

It’s Farmhouse Friday over at Laurie Anna's, so I’m joining in the fun.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!  You girls make my day :)

    Your photographs are just amazing! I have never ever seen that type of carrier with baskets. It is just charming. I'll bet it is hard to find those with all the pieces together.

    Very sweet! I love your berry basket and your photos. We have wooden berry baskets at the shop and they sell like hot cakes! One of the dealers was lucky enough to find a farmer that had a barn load and she bought them all.

Love, LOVE, LOVE it. Thank you so much for sharing with me. I will continue on looking for mine as well. One day I may be lucky too. You finding one gives me hope.

    So happy to find your blog via The Old Painted Cottage. I'd love to know some good local sources for vintage finds. The places I've shopped in the past have closed. I finally visited Canton and Laurie Anna's (love!) but some more local places to shop would be great. I look forward to exploring your blog further.

    Those antique berry crates look beautiful. We rarely see wooden berry crates with a design like that. Usually, they’re made of pulp and plastic. Nice find!
