The Longaberger 1896 Collection is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I started with one piece and am adding to my collection. My favorite feature of this collection is that the pieces are all handcrafted to look like they have been passed down from generation to generation. The color is beautiful, and I can imagine these baskets being used in my grandmother’s house. All of these pieces coordinate perfectly with other Longaberger collections or any home decor style. The 1896 Collection embodies the past, present, and future evolution of the basket weaving craft and an iconic, American brand. Through this collection, we celebrate our beginnings, embrace the dreams of our crafters and lead with creativity through every basket that is woven with Longaberger.  I’ll just share a few of my favorites.

The square organizing basket can be used for so many different things. A simple plant looks so pretty in it or seasonal foliage too. Add a few hand towels for a guest bath, snacks for a guest bedroom, or a tissue box. Standing alone, this basket makes a beautiful statement.

A gorgeous wastebasket for the office yes, please. I think this basket would also be perfect for umbrellas or pool towels too. The height of this basket is sure to be noticed in any room.

The produce basket is my first piece of the collection. I have a strand of fairy lights in it and displayed on a shelf. The twinkling lights look so beautiful through the weave at night. Of course, it also is perfect for fruits and vegetables on the counter.

My dining room table is my favorite thing to decorate and redecorate. How perfect are these placemats and napkin rings? They are beautiful, and being neutral in color they will coordinate with everything. I love that antique and vintage feel of these. They will definitely be making an appearance on my table soon. These would also be pretty hanging on a wall to display photos or twinkle lights.

So, what do you think of the 1896 Collection? I think it is stunning, and I am looking forward to adding more pieces to my collection.
