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.

I’m a basket freak/collector/case & I have to say this one is beautiful! I think the colors are perfect & will have no problem matching anyone’s decorating style. Way to go Christy!
I’m so happy to have discovered your website. Wish I had found it earlier. Love all your recipes and they remind me of my mother’s, grandmothers’ and cousins in Alabama. The basket is absolutely beautiful and I look forward to the ones in the coming years. Blessings for you!
This is a beautiful basket and I have many places for it…hope to add it to my basket collection nothing close to it in my collection so far!!!
Oh my mom went to the 100 mile yard sale this weekend and found a pyrex covered divided dish in the green for less than $5.00. I couldn’t believe it was sooooo cheap. Will probably be the cheapest one I will ever find…
This basket is gorgeous. I believe anyone would be happy to have it. I love your newsletters and your pecan pie muffins. They are a hit at my house.
What a beautiful design! Thanks for offering this basket in a giveaway! I would cherish it forever!
That is a beautiful basket and what a great idea to celebate your anniversary.
Thank you for this website and all you share with us. The recipies are wonderful, but what makes them really special are your personal
stories and photos. It’s like sitting at the table and talking with a friend.
I would love to win the basket, but if I don’t, that’s OK too.
Please keep up the great work.
Beautiful basket – so many possibilities!
How lovely! What a beautiful way to commemorate the 1st anniversary of Southern Plate!
Bountiful Blessings!
P.S. Made your Fire and Ice Salad and the Dishpan cookies this weekend! Both were a big hit! Delicious!!
What a beautiful basket! I just ordered one basket for myself. As a home economist who graduated forty plus years ago, I recognize several of your family recipes. They are great standby recipes and I fondly recall the years I resided in Columbus, Georgia learning about Southern Cooking.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and the always look forward to your e-mail.
Keep up the great work you have done and I will continue to check in on how you and your family are doing
looooove your website, have your cookbook and have tried lots of your recipes
Hi – I wish I would have found this site a year ago. I really enjoy the recipes, the contests and the “chats”. I would love to win this beautiful basket! Looking forward to many more years of Southern Plate.
Christy,
Love the basket, I’d order right now but had to replace the roof on the house. I hope to get mony before time runs out. Its just what I was looking for to set in the middle of my kitchen island.
Love your site.
Congratulations on your first year..What a wonderful idea to celebrate each year..Many more!!!
Hi Christy

Congratualations on your first year with Southern Plate and your 11th year wedding anniversaries. My 22 wedding anniversary was 8/8. (same as yours)
Only we forgot ours. LOL I don’t know how it happened. I guess sometimes life just goes by so fast you miss a stop here and there. My husband and I had a big laugh about it this afternoon. (yep, didn’t remember till around 3 o’clock.)
I love your website and I look forward to reading about you and your family and all of your great recipes.
Love the beautiful basket! Congrat’s on your first anniversary. Reading your postings has become a daily pleasure for me!
