Wishlist: Baskets to order

This week Esther N McCarthy fills her hand-made basket with some early seasonal treats.

This basket — a pouch style with a curl of bog wood is from Joe Hogan’s artistic collection. He’s been perfecting his craft at Loch na Fooey since the 1970s and makes his unique baskets to order.
