I did have a pink woven sewing basket with a wooden lid that attached with pink cords. It had a floral painted top. So cute. But, when my niece wanted to sew, I bought her a machine and filled the basket with things she needed I had seconds of for her.
I have a basket that belonged to my grandma that she had tole painted on the top. When I started quilting, she wanted me to have it. Unfortunately, the bottom was made out of some kind of pressed board and it crumbled so now I need to either figure out who to put a new bottom in it or find someone who can. What a lovely gift you gave to your niece and I'm sure she appreciated it.
