Laura Sue, they are gorgeous aren't they! Very expensive for a basket. They do go up in value, however, you have to have someone that would want to pay top dollar for an older basket that's worth something. I try to justify with my husband, "but honey, they will be worth money someday". They are a REAL addiction. I was totally bad buying them for years and have finally stopped. I have one show a year and get a lot of free stuff from having a show(demonstration). The Christmas baskets are always nice. You should treat yourself someday to one but watch out...they are addicting!
