A couple of weeks ago I did a little post about how beautiful
the color orange can be in the garden
the Pantone color of the year is
Tangerine Tango
and last week look what showed up
in my mail box!
This is the most bright and cheery tangerine tote!
It was sent by one of my favorite bloggers
Andrea
the French Basketeer
Andrea is the talented lady behind these wonderful
authentic French market baskets
which can be found at retailers
and Farmers markets in Southern California
This is her new palm basket for 2012 called the Beaune
I love this basket!!!!
In addition to this business, Andrea is a fantastic and creative cook and spends some of the year in France....does that not sound just wonderful!?!
Here she shows us how to make Poulet Dijonnaise
Her photography is always amazing
Celeb's love her baskets too...and why not?!
They are fantastique
Please visit Andrea and her beautiful baskets
My new orange tote will be filled with
green goodness from the Farmers Market
this Sunday
Merci Andrea!

Hi Kelly!, What a beautiful Spring bag. Andrea is such a sweet and generous lady with gorgeous bags. Hugs, Sherry
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to have won the "Martha" book. I guess you need my address. :) Please tell me where to send it. Thank you so much!

Love your new tote! Such a fun color! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteReally great basket/bag!! The other one too...wow.
ReplyDeleteI'd heard about the Pantone color of the year but didn't know WHAT Pantone was until I looked it up.
It would be fun to be the one who chooses the color each year, huh?
I LOVE that bag and THAT color!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fantastic color! All the totes are terrific looking, but the tangerine...I'm going to need to get one, and then when I eventually get to Ojai again I will recognize you by yours and you will know I'm one of your fans! :-)Ha, ha!!!

I think it should be named the "Kelly" bag! It' fits your style perfectly! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat baskets! The orange is very happy
ReplyDeleteI love baskets and these are lovley, I am not an orange gal, at all, in fact it is not allowed in our family, kind of a family joke, but give me a pretty bright yellow, cobalt or lime green and I am so there!! Love the natural color of the basketweave too!! I can just see you with wonderful produce at the farmers market. I have been getting farm fresh to you at my door step. It is all organic and local produce. So fun to see what they bring every two weeks, Kathysue
ReplyDeleteKelley! I am a huge fan of Andrea's bags and her blog! I will meet her one of these days at the one of the markets she does. This color is unbelievable! I love it! You are one lucky girl!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo, Chris
I have always admired the baskets and totes Andrea sells. This one is especially cheerful for Spring. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBest...Victoria
Love the bag! Orange is my favorite color, just beautiful for spring.
ReplyDeleteLove the color, makes you smile. Thanks for her link, and be sure to show us what you buy at Market, it's going to look more fabulous in your bag.

I love these baskets...I must get one for myself this year. I also loved the scarf you put on yours.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Enjoy your tote, Kelley! I love your sense of style adding the scarf~
ReplyDeleteGuess who I saw in Mammoth last night????
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!! I have always been an "orange" girl. So glad there are orange options this year...I'll be ordering an orange basket when I sell my next painting!!! Thanks for sharing your friend's link.

Love.love.love the orange tote. I just painted my front door tangerine - this addiction to orange is new but I am drawn to it in clothes and accessories and I bet some lantana or something that color will be showing up in my container gardens!!
ReplyDeleteMarcie
Beautiful basket. Love the color. I would use it as a purse/bag instead of toting market goodness. I would be afraid the inside would get messed up (unless it is coated?)
ReplyDeleteooooh I LOVE that ORANGE... I was thinking about getting the natural BUT that ORANGE is DIVINE!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your new bag! I must get one before I leave. I just went back and read your post again...I thinking have seen them at Farmers Markets...I'm buying one pronto. It will be perfect for my Saturday trips to the New Canaan Farmers market when we move this summer.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is beautiful! Even though I don't plant orange in my garden, it makes me smile when something like a wild lantana pops up anyway.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to You~
They are beautiful but BUYER BEWARE!! I ordered, I paid, I email, wrote and cajoled...The basket never came. My first emails were met with promises, but now, 3 months later, still no basket.
ReplyDeleteI waited too long to file a complaint with paypal, and apparently Andreia knows this, so she has my money and I have no basket....
I'm done with trying to support the small business! From now on, Amazon and Walmart are getting all my money!
