Yesterday I spent the day in Blacksburg with my parents. On my way home, I was trying to decide if I should stop at Goodwill. Goodwill won.
I saw this picnic basket ~ which I really don't need. I have my mom's and I also have one of my own. I also have a beautiful Longaberger basket that my best friend gave me as a retirement gift. She had the names of all the schools where I had taught printed on the lid. I should do another post about that. Back to my bargain.
The lid is attached with leather hinges.
Look at the toggle fastening as well.
Then I opened it.
It has the plastic, protective liner.
It still had the liner in the plastic bag.
If you look closely in the top right corner, you will see that it also had stink bugs under that plastic liner. I couldn't scream as my hubby had gone to bed. I quickly put it outside on the porch. Will you take my word for it that it is stamped Longaberger on the bottom?
So why did I buy this picnic basket when I really didn't need one?
The price was $2.95!
What would you have done?

Could you have passed this up?

It has this wooden stand so food won't get mashed when you stack dishes inside.
