It's the Pottery Barn Kids turtle basket. I've linked to the PB site for informational purposes, but by no means are you to click over to shop. When you go the website, it will tell you that the large turtle basket (35"x22") costs $109. What do they take us for? Please, as if! BUT if you find it clearanced in the PB Kids store, the large turtle is $40. A very friendly price, especially if you took one look at the basket, like I did, and started saying, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" like the seagulls in Finding Nemo.
My mom and sister and I were having one last shopping hurrah a couple of days ago before Amy flew back to Australia (I miss my best girlfriend already). I guess I am going through a turtle phase, but I would have bought this even if I didn't have kids. I put it up in Hank's room, under his window, holding his stuffed animals. He took one look at it and said, "I can fight the turtle with my sword?" So I think he likes it. For me it's the right combination of modern and traditional, and whimsical, and wicker. And turtley. Happy Things I Love Thursday!

How fun! I love turtles. They were actually the mascot for my sorority and I had them in every shape and color. Now my girls have commandered them. A woman once told me that she wears turtle jewelry because it reminds her that she has to stick her neck out to go forward -- like a turtle.
Have a good one and thanks for stopping by to comment!
Those are cute! I was looking for an animal basket when my son's room was jungle themed.
wow, that is one cute basket.
I enjoy the turtle, but I also enjoyed the image of you as a smiling old lady sitting on a bus having show and tell. That made me laugh out loud.
Those are adorable!
I'm pretty hot on the elephant ones in the background. I hate paying full price, send me to the clearance section any day!
THese are super cute. Way cuter than the generic basket I have stuff in now. But I live nowhere near Pottery Barn. Maybe I will try ebay
I love turtles too, I save one from road death once every few months. That is a cool basket, I can't believe they had that much of a different price on the two sites. Jerks.
