added pics showing 55! lol Ooh...thought of another fun/silly thing to talk about lol
I admit it, I'm a bit stir crazy at the moment. Been sewing my brains out. Both kids are sick. Dh's been working 80-90hrs a week. Haven't talked to a grown-up in forever. And we're a one-car family so, obviously, dh has had it constantly. It's a good thing I have orders/trades keeping me busy or I might paint the walls plaid or something LOL!
Anyhoo...
How many baskets do you have in your main living area? You get to count the kitchen, the area of your main eating table (whether it be part of the actual kitchen or detached), the main family/living room, foyer, hall bathroom (the one a visitor would use).
I'm wondering if perhaps I really am the basket queen... <insert wicked cackle here>
off to count...

and I swear I'm looking around thinking, "is that it?"
and I didn't even count the questionable items...wicker doll stroller, wicker tissue box cover, wicker footstool, metal basket-ish container or the crocheted fabric fruit basket.

darn, now I'm thinking I need to edit out my answer...let people at least think they have a chance. LOL!
well, this queen is off to wash some dishes and scrub a kitchen floor. (and while I'm here in the kitchen I need to reevaluate the piece of cheesecake I left for dh. I think it might be a tad too big. gotta fix that.) then off to sew more animals...
Nicole, I thought you'd have more than that!
Oh...and a basket funny... A good friend recently invited me to Longaberger party at her house. She knows how much I do not like home sales parties but she thought I'd make an exception for Longaberger because I like baskets so much. I had to set her straight. I am not about quality...totally about quantity! ROFL!!
in my defense, we just moved and got rid of almost every non-essential thing we owned to move. The one basket I do have has some fall decor in it currently, getting ready to find some pinecones to put in there for winter though
I have 10 in the house in use, and I have 6 out in the garage waiting to be filled. One of our thrift stores sells baskets by the bundle- like 4 or 5 baskets for a $1. What a deal!

PS we are a one car family too and dh is gone a lot for work. I am generally too lazy/sleepy to get up and take him to work at 3:30 in the morning to keep the car......

Um..one? It was a gift from MIL; it sits on the entrance/kitchen counter, as a catch-all. I don't have anything AGAINST them, I just don't like average run of the mill ones, and the other ones are always WAY too expensive for me! lol

My sister LOVES baskets and such. She married a guy who hates baskets! He calls her the "kinck-knack paddy whack queen" and now they have a house that is always clean and no clutter. She might have two baskets now.

can you believe I missed one LOL! The bathroom trash can is a basket...so 60.
But, in my defense, 8 baskets that are in the living room are part of the portable Natural Playthings factory. And another 3 are holding personal projects. And 4 are part of my yet-to-be-disclosed new business venture. So these 15 basket don't really live in the main areas of the house. They're just out because I'm using their contents.
2 are the kids' school baskets (one for each). One holds magazines. 3 hold kitchen linens and are on shelves and the kitchen trash can is a laundry hamper basket. One holds shoes in the foyer. In the bathroom one holds soaps, one holds potpourri, and one is the trash can. I have a wrought iron stand that holds 8, decoratively, in a corner of the dining room. There are 16 going across the top of the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator. And the rest have little jobs like holding napkins, my stash of small candles, etc. I promise it doesn't look like you're likely to get attacked by a basket in here rofl!
I love my baskets! They buy me the storage space our teeny house is lacking. It's the only way I can maintain order. And having Garden Ridge 5 minutes from home is just too big a temptation. Their prices on baskets are wonderful.
I thought for sure someone would admit to having more! (heck, I thought Nicole would lol...now you KNOW it was killing me to avoid the Amish baskets lol)
