Baskets

 At Snapshots Around the World, this week's theme is baskets.  So many different types of baskets abound in the Solomon Islands!

Here, purses are called baskets.

We love our our basket woven on Guadalcanal!  We use it as a fruit basket...

 ...and as a tray for a yummy breakfast in bed.



And I recently purchased this basket made by a Malaitan to use as a book basket.

This is my current purse/basket that I carry around town - just right for a water bottle, hand sanitizer, and my money for market.  The Solomon Islands is a great place to find baskets!
