15 We use ours for organization, every one of them is currently in use. I am searching for a small wicker basket for behind the master bedroom toilet.

Danielle, the baskets hanging are making me laugh.

D - I like your kitchen cabinets!

I have baskets on top of my cabinets too. I used to have more baskets around but Whitley is always into everything (still) and it would drive me totally insane when things in the baskets got mixed up. If you count other kinds of containers besides actual baskets, I woud have a whole lot more!

Well, I just walked around downstairs and saw 25. There are probably another 10 upstairs?

LOL! You *know* I had to have that when I saw it!! Funny thing is that when it finally came in the mail I had to go out and buy baskets for it because all my other baskets were in use.

Lisha, I'm loving your sig pic! I keep opening this thread over and over just to see it again LOL!

pssst, LeeAnn, they photograph well...the cabinets are scary in real life. I'm thinking about doing a distressed paint finish on them so I can pretend their dilapidated state is all part of the *look* lol

Hmmmmmmmmm...... I don't have many anymore.

2 Longaberger (1 was a gift)

3 that are part of a nesting set

and 1 that is sitting on my dining room table that is part of a gift for someone (I think it's such a neat/pretty basket that I don't want to give it away! And they didn't have another one like it... they are handcrafted here in Kentucky)

Dannielle ... my mom may have you beat in the basket department... she collects longaberger. Even her purse is a basket. If I remember to count when I go there later today I'll post how many she has.

Back from my parents.....

And they thought I was a nut for doing it but I counted all the baskets in their house (main floors, not the basement or storage areas)

She has 64 baskets!!!! She kept telling me "oh, those don't count, they aren't longaberger"

Then they talked about the time several years ago when they still lived in NJ when my brother went around counting all the 'carousel' things in the house. She had 74 on that one. LOL And I'm positive that number has gone up over the last few years.
