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.

Hi Christy,
What a neat basket! I have several baskets that I have purchased through the years, but that basket is by far the neatest. The colors would go perfectly with my kitchen decor. And, I would love to win. I’m also thinking seriously about ordering one.
I enjoy the website so much.

Christy, again happy one year anniversary for Southern Plate. I love the basket idea. Maybe I’ll win one as I can’t afford one with all our medical bills now. I saw the picture of the basket and it just said “me” all over it..With a name like mine (Cherry) the colors are perfect. Have a super southern day!
Happy Anniversary Southern Plate and the basket is beautiful!
Love the white maple basket.
i love your emails,i had over 15,000 emails and i wanted them deleted and wanted to keep southern plate emails so it took me days to go through and save your emails….thats how much i love your recipes and enjoy your blog and pictures! i love the basket also,beautiful!
Congratulations to Southern Plate on your anniversary!
The basket is beautiful. I always admire people’s talent on weaving baskets.
My favorite one is a grass basket from Charleston S.C. from a family vacation over 20 years ago. I have the picture of the lady who made it.
Reminds me..I need to find my pine needle weaving book.
Have a great day.

What a beautiful, classic basket. I live just 25 miles from Canal Fulton and our area in general produces beautiful baskets, especially the Amish. Also very reasonably priced compared to some I have seen around here! I’ll have to recycle a few more cans so I can get one!
Looking at that basket makes me want to sit down with my family and enjoy a home cooked meal, complete with a bread basket. Simply lovely!
What a beauty!
I can just see this setting on top of my kitchen shelf.
I spend hours looking through your recipes, it’s so easy to loose track of time this way and I enjoy the time spent, I have learned so much plus printed and made many of your recipes, I Thank You so much.
Christy you are so appreciated.
Happy Anniversary Southern Plate!
I LOVE BASKETS!!!! really like this one!
I’d love to win this basket Christy! =) It’s beautiful and I like that you can use it for multiple holidays, I think it’d make a great Christmas present (I’m getting a few cookbooks for gifts this year too!)
Very nice basket Christy! I sure would love to win this basket! It is so pretty!
Hi Christy
Happy Anniversary to you and your husband and a special big Happy Anniversary to Southern Plate.
I read your kitchen blog late last night (12:30am) but was waiting for the one about the basket.
I am seriously thinking of ordering one for myself for my own Christmas present to me. roflol
The basket is beautiful. And I love the idea of it and that you & your mother and grandmother are going to sign them Hooray.
I would really love to win this one.
I really do love your kitchen blog. I added it to my favorites. Will read it again.
Have a very good Sunday and enjoy your kitchen and your family.
They are worth everything. We will be married 55 years in Dec. and I have loved every (well almost every) day of it.
Sorry, didnt mean to write a letter.
Take care

I adore your basket, just precious! Happy Anniiversary!
What a beautiful basket! I really wish I had a house I was in love with, that I could proudly display that. As it is, I’m stuck in an apartment that has no memories, nothing that makes me smile when I look around.

Beautiful! Hope I can cnvince dh that I really “need” one to hold the fresh baked bread loaves in!
You’re so smart to make sure it can go along with several different holidays! Another good idea of yours was making future baskets different sizes and shapes. Congratulations on your first year!
