Peterboro Basket at Proud American Trading Post

I was recently given my first Peterboro Basket, and I have to tell you about this amazing product and company. Every Peterboro Basket is made with 100% American labor and materials (sturdy Appalachian white ash) in Petersborough, New Hampshire.  The first Peterboro basket was made in 1854 and today Peterboro Basket Co. is the oldest domestic manufacturer of hardwood baskets. 

Check out some of the ways I have been using my Peterboro Basket.   First, I used it as a magazine and book holder! The study legs allow it to stand up perfectly and the basket is extremely wide, so you can see the numerous books and magazines that it holds.

Now that the warmer weather is finally upon us in the Central Valley of California, I decided it was time to pick some flowers in my garden.  I couldn’t help but bring my Peterboro Basket along. 

You may purchase your own Peterboro Basket at Proud American Trading Post at www.proudamericantradingpost.com.  This wonderful site provides some great deals on quality American products. I hope you enjoy your basket and know that with this purchase you are supporting a historic American company and American jobs!
