The Gathering Mat is wonderful for all times of the year. This large round Gathering Mat is ideal for collecting long-stem blooms, vegetables, & herbs from the garden, during the summer months. Collecting winterberries or balsam in the cooler months. This beautiful Gathering Mat looks lovely hung on the wall by your door or also can be used as a centerpiece on a large table. Inspired by my love of gathering & forging in my backyard & on side roads, this rope basket is made to accommodate lengthy stems without damage. The large circumference makes it possible to add a large variety of plants or vegetables without them getting all mixed up. Lightweight, comfortable, & sturdy this basket is sure to become your outdoor companion. The Bouquet Basket comes in two sizes & five light colors. Having a light-colored rope allows you to spot ticks & other insects that you would rather keep outdoors. If you would like this Gathering Mat in a darker color please send me a message & I would be happy to make it for you. The large Gathering Basket is approximately 25 in diameter with 12 handles for easy over-the-shoulder carrying. Ideal for long-stemmed flowers or vegetables. The small Gathering Basket is approximately 17 in diameter & has 9 handles, large enough for adults to hold & small enough to be safe for the smaller hands in your life. Loveline Baskets are hand-dyed & hand-made using 100 percent cotton rope. Each Gathering mat is finished with a leather tab & brass rivet. Please allow for slight variations in size & or color.
