The lovely basket above comes from Pierre Deux, and the store has a few other nice options, too. But if these aren't to your taste, there are many more to choose from. Update on Jan. 2, 2013: Pierre Deux has gone out of business.

Love wired baskets for fruit storage -- keeps air circulating while things ripen.

Back in my days in an old apartment, I used to have the classic tiered hanging basket filled with boxes of tea.

Wire baskets are also easy to clean, a big plus in my book.

And the little shopping cart is cute!

I like the easy-to-clean aspect too, Cynthia.
