2009 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.

Love the basket! I ordered one, and I am looking forward to receiving it. It will be proudly used in my kitchen/dinning room. Thanks for sharing this with your Southern Plate readers.
Love the basket! It would look great in my kitchen!!!
Gorgeous basket. I would love to have one, but do not have $50 to spend on it. Will continue to read your posts & try your recipes, as they bring a little bit of my native Alabama to this corner of NC.
I love your website……happy 1st…..beautiful basket!
Thank you–so darling! Can’t wait to start the collection with baskets that are thoughtfully chosen for all our daily doin’s. Congratulations on a year. My kids are headed back to college tomorrow–chocolate cobbler tonight!
This is a darling basket, and looks like a useful size, as well. I particulary love picnic baskets, and ones with the little tables in them to hold layers of things.
Very Tastefully done ! Beautiful basket and I love the color.
What a fantastic idea! It is a beautiful basket. Thanks as always for the fabulous site.
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.
Ahh I hope that I win this basket because I am home sick
.. Love it so nice..
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!
A beautiful basket! Baskets surely help make a house a home.
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!
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.
That is a beautiful basket!!! I sure would be proud to own it!!
MARVELOUS! What a wonderful idea!
What a beautiful basket. It would look lovely in my kitchen.
Hi Cristy, I would LOVE to win this basket. It is beautiful! I HAD a very nice floor basket but my husband tripped on it and now parts are sticking out all over the place. It WAS a pretty basket.
Thank you for the opportunity to win one – someone will be very lucky to have won this.
Sorry I misspelled your name Christy!
I LOVE your website and your recipes! I only found you recently but I am really enjoying reading your everything and trying your recipes! Congratulations on your anniversary!
Well I guess I have missed out on the freebie basket and the first edition of the yearly basket, but there is always next year….Congratulations on your anniversary Christy, keep up the good work…
Love the basket!
Love the basket!
What a great basket. I love the color scheme you chose.
Looking forward to seeing more of your recipes with the holiday time coming along. Even tho I cook for 2 I do enjoy the change of menu. I usually make full recipes and freeze the left-overs which sometimes are better. Anyway the basket is lovely and sure would love to have it. Thanks for all your work.
Oooh, late to the party, so I missed out on the opportunity to order one. Lovely basket, great way to start my collection! I’ll be sure and keep an eye out for next years!
Love your blog, Christy! I live in Virginia, which is technically considered the South. Sooo not the case most of the time! You make me feel closer to home! Keep up the great work!
I wish I had known about Southern Plate back in August – I LOVE this basket! It would be so cute in my red and white kitchen. I love your site and your fantastic family recipes. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
Ah shucks, i went and forgot all about ordering one, meant to but forgot…must a been a senior moment…haha. I don’t guess you happened to order a few extras did ya?…probably not but if you did I would like to get one…if not thanks anyway…maybe next year! Love those recipes, keep em a coming!
