Twelve years ago today, my mom died of pancreatic cancer. Her favorite color was blue, so this is my annual tribute to her.
These blue felt baskets come from Orval Créations and are sold by FUTUR Conceptstore in Belgium. The online store didn’t mention the dimensions, but Joke Vermeire at the store was kind enough to go measure them for me:
- Small: 34 x 19 x 23 cm (13.4 x 7.5 x 9.0 inches)
- Medium: 39 x 23 x 28 cm (15.4 x 9.0 x 11.0 inches)
- Large: 43 x 28 x 33 cm (16.9 x 11.0 x 13.0 inches)
For more containers, let’s head over to Etsy. This little wool felt basket from Skandinavious is made of pure Merino wool and has leather ties.
StitchOSaurus makes this little storage bin (and all its products) from old floor samples that would otherwise be trashed — very cool! Because of this, most of the products are one of a kind. If this one is gone when you look, perhaps the store could make a similar one with another fabric.
These small storage baskets come from Sew&Tell. (Note: The store has the same basket in another fabric that would be nice for dog lovers.)
Moving beyond containers: This hourglass serves as a 15-minute timer.
And as someone who went to the University of Michigan, I was delighted to find that Roeda makes these magnets. They have nice magnets for other schools, too. (Mom didn’t go to U of M, but she did live in Michigan for many years.)
Curious about my posts in prior years? Take a look at all of them.
