every farmers' market shopper needs a basket
The basket I use to carry my farmers' market purchases came from this shop, courtesy of my husband. The shop is located on the Arcata Plaza, where the market is held every Saturday from mid-April to the week before Thanksgiving.
Do you have a shopping basket?
This is my contribution to edition #56 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Lail of With a Spin.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white.
This post contains the gallery of images submitted to the event.
On this page, you can find out who is hosting the current and future editions of the event.
They are gorgeous! I have a shopping bag that lives, folded up, in my handbag, but now I want a basket!

I also have canvas shopping bags, several of them, actually, but I must say that a basket is really nice and handy, so I support you putting it on your wish list :)

Very nice baskets. I can see you carrying one around the market. :-)

These baskets do look beautiful but not very practical if you have to shop for a whole week and have back problems. I use a bag on wheels. I'll post a picture on facebook.

I love those baskets, I would love one to put my knitting work. Not sure why I haven't bought one yet.
Lovely photo.

Ciao Paz. When my husband accompanies me, he likes to carry it ;)
Thanks Ivy. That makes sense. I saw the photo and can see that you can indeed put a lot of groceries in that bag.
Ciao Laura. They are beautiful and certainly practical also for other uses.

Wow, Cinzia, davvero sei brava a tenere bene le cose. Dopo cosi' tanto tempo, un oggetto diventa quasi un membro della famiglia.
