(wire) Basket Case

I've been obsessing over wire baskets lately. I can't stop thinking about them, it is like a disease.

It all started with this red-rimmed one from Wisteria:


My Sparrow



Restoration Hardware



The loosely woven Marche Baskets from the container store with matching waste basket

I didn't see it online, but at the store on 6th Avenue I saw they have a large chrome one for laundry that would be perfect for holding bolts of fabric. It was very tempting, but I imagined all of the dirty looks I would have gotten carrying that thing on the subway, also $50 still seemed pretty steep to me. I am hoping for a sale.

I also researched wire bins on wheels for another couple months like this one-
R and B Wire Commercial Laundry Carts



I'm wondering if it is possible to buy wire cloth/mesh from the hardware store to try to make one, maybe a wood base with wire body? hmmmm...

Hopefully posting these will get the thoughts out of my system for a while.

Thank you Walgreens! :D If the paper was thicker it would be even better! But for a 40 min. turnaround, I shouldn't be complaining.

Been cat sitting this past week, didn't get any work done...

My attempt to entertain Smokey the cat (not to be confused with Smokey the Bear, I don't think this Smokey thinks about forest fire prevention as much, just a little). Unforch, no music, just my neighbor saying, "See ya later alligator!" to his son, which I thought was sweet.
