Sometimes the simplest things grab my attention and won’t let go. This hand-knotted rope basket at Alder & Co. has been in my mind for a few weeks now, and I decided that the only way to make room for a new favorite thing was to post this one. Handmade in Japan by Shigeki Fujishiro, Knot is a simple but versatile basket that is treated to work indoors or out. I’d like to keep a few of these outside my front door as a catch-all for winter accessories.* But it would be great for magazines, books or hauling groceries to and from the car.

*I’ve lost two of my favorite winter hats this year already. I think a designer needs to come up with a cute adult version of those mittens with strings on them (please?). I’m one of those adults who still can’t keep track of my hats and gloves.
