A True Christmas Stocking Basket

The shapely 2021 Stocking Basket is a true work of art and representation of a stocking, difficult to create with maple wood splints. Everyone who has seen my Stocking Basket has been amazed with its craftsmanship, and you will be too. Woven by Dresden & Company in Dresden, Ohio, you can see the craft in process right here. Do you need one Stocking Basket or an entire row of them hanging on your mantle? Think ahead to future family members too! Don't wait too long--these won't be available forever.

Dresden & Company jumped into action when The Longaberger Company closed and declared bankruptcy in 2018, allowing talented Ohio weavers to keep working and creating beautiful formed baskets. While they cannot use the original Longaberger basket forms and names, D & Co has been creative in basket design and other purchases to complement them. The Out & About Basket is a favorite of mine, and it's available in Buffalo Check right now!

Longaberger's 2014 Christmas Stocking Basket had a base shaped like a stocking, with straight sides coming up from it. It was introduced at the 2014 Longaberger Bee (company convention) with a heart-tugging story about Dave Longaberger sending/bringing home a sweet little stocking to his baby daughter, Tami, possibly while he was serving in the military. Unlike that flat stocking, the Dresden & Company Stocking Basket is 3-dimensional, open all the way to the toe unless you use the plastic protector. It truly hangs with a leather loop hanger and will look great hanging all sorts of places.

When you contact a D & Co "Proprietor", you will receive interesting information and help with your orders as well as a discount on your purchase. That will help with your stocking purchase! Visit the website of my helpful friend Linda Sargent to see lots of fun new products and maybe even find a new career for the new year. She has an informative newsletter with great recipes too!   The Stocking Basket comes in a nice mailing box with a color label that shows what is inside. It is a perfect size for storage and a nice addition to the basket.
