Enjoy your gifts they are a great and well done collection very authentic... when the founder Dave Longaberger a good Christian Simplistic& hardworking man who learned to weave the baskets from his family by hand and so usable and lasting When Dave Longaberger was alive all baskets & pottery, protectors, liners everything was made in the USA 🇺🇸 a real treasure!

I believe a lot!!! Of husbands has stated such 😂. Does anyone know if there are individuals who enjoy the USA pewter ornaments?

I always loved these baskets but never splurged on one. However today I came across three baskets at a thrift store, in excellent shape. I am so excited with my find 😊

Very thorough and informative video!! I collected a few in the mid 90’s and now revisiting Longaberger once again.

Thank you for this. I love these baskets and pick them up if they are reasonably priced. I found 2 at the bins, and several at Salvation Army. All under $1.00. But went to Alaska to visit my daughter and there were 2 in their GW for .......$69.99 each. On the shelf. And they were not a special edition or collectors edition. I just about croaked right there! Lol.

You’re welcome! Sounds like you’ve been finding them for some great prices.

I also watch people doing hauls and walking right by these incredible baskets. I have found a few at my local Goodwill for pennies.

I love my little collection of Longaberger Baskets & Pottery (which are very authentic, many signed but not a lot...they are also endurable and usable fir many things and clean up beautifully, very sturdy . They store nice in a beautiful country manner. I miss hearing about them occasionally. All of mine were hand made in the USA 🇺🇸 . Founder & Owner Dave Longaberger was an awesome Christian man of Simplicity and hard work. His daughters did inherit the business but did not have the experience or insight their daddy possessed. I do not believe it was not intentional for Longaberger to slow & change. Yet life happens

I loved the mini's,I decorated one of my Christmas trees with the minis every year,and still leave them out for decor now,I use all my baskets, especially in my bathrooms to this day.

I’ve decorated my Christmas trees every year since 2007 with all my miniature baskets & my smaller baskets. then when I got the CC Pinecone ornaments, I added those to the tree as well.

I love baskets. I’ll keep my eye out for a sewing basket!

@lolitalolita7561 - I just acquired a Sewing Basket- the CC version. I’d sell it.

I find Collectors Club full basket sets in pristine condition for pennies on the dollar at flea markets. My wife would sell them for $100 plus; now $15 or less.

Yeah they have declined in value for sure.

I have a huge collection of these baskets and pottery. I’m hoping one day the market value goes back up so I can sell them. If any of you are near Blue Springs, Missouri the Brass Armidillo (antique mall) has so much of this stuff in it.

Thanks for all the info! I'll have to gather my many dozens of baskets in one place and see just what I have! Have found a bunch of them over the years at thrift stores....priced from 99 cents to 10 bucks. Once found a nested group of 6 like new Generation baskets, with all the accessories, for 6 bucks!

I always look for those great Longaberger baskets and can not find any. Thank you for sharing the history of the company. I did not Know they did Potter, I will have to start looking for them as well. I did not know that they even did the Wrought Iron stand, I love your collections. I really enjoyed hearing everything about the company and the history I did not know. I do the same thing when I am watching someone when Sourcing and I yell at the tube and they never hear me either, LOL

When I watched the HGTV show Windy City Rehab, Alison Victoria was in one of her favorite antique shop in Chicago and walked right past a cabinet full of Longaberger Baskets: Gathering, Market, Candle, Serving Tray and 2 Teas- all in the Classic stain. I was yelling “ Longaberger!!! Longaberger!!! Longaberger!!! Those are Longaberger!!!”

I watched a lady whom has her own shop and the only way people will buy a longaberger basket from her store is if she has painted it,I have a small stroke Everytime she paints one,too

Well it’s not a bad idea for baskets with water damage or cosmetic damage. Chalk paint or any matte paint would look very nice. But their beauty really comes from the natural maple wood.

I believe these are going to one day pick up in value. what’s your thoughts? I see a lot of them at yard sales and have bought them when they’re cheap enough

You can use google lens to try to find the baskets you have & see what others have them listed for. There are also LONGABERGER collectors groups on Facebook that you may be able to sell them for more.

too many "umm"s made this too annoying to watch
