Charleston Photo: Sweetgrass Baskets!

I took this photo one day while walking around downtown Charleston, SC. This was taken across the street from St. Michael’s Episcopal Church. The women that weave these baskets are utterly amazing. So very talented. It’s very cool thing when your craft has been passed down for generations! These baskets aren’t cheap, but they will last forever. They’re worth every single penny. If you’re in town, this is THE PERFECT souvenir to go home with. It’s classy, you can use it and it’s absolutely beautiful!

I’ve heard that the basket ladies don’t like to have their photos taken, so I was able to snap this without revealing the artists identity… Just know that she was a very talented woman indeed!

Whether or not you are located in Charleston, hey, what better wedding, anniversary, birthday, gift would one of these beautiful baskets make?!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

  2. So true, its kind of like being back in time. I admire how they carry their heritage on from generation to generation. And thank you… I didn’t want to disrespect her by snapping her photo for all to see, but it shows enough so the viewer can see that these women work hard, make amazing baskets that truly last for generations (unlike the copies) and are truly an art! Thanks for commenting Kate!
