KELLEY WILSON | BASKET WEAVER & BLANKET IMPORTER

Motto: “If you love doing something, make time for it!”
@by_kwilson

When we asked Kelley to explain her business in one sentence she replied, “I’m a custodian of an age-old craft, just trying to make it cool again.” And if that’s her goal, we’re pretty sure she is nailing it. Kelley learned the art of basket weaving the summer after high school, when she lived in the Adirondack Mountains. While taking a class, she crafted her first pack basket and was immediately hooked. Now, 20+ years later, she has expanded her business to include many sizes and styles of baskets — all with their own unique shape. She’s also started importing blankets from India as a new adventure. They are all made from vintage & recycled saris and go beautifully with her baskets for the perfect picnic pairing.
