I’ve come full circle. I’m back to baskets.
My name is Ralaine Fagone,
The beginning of my story started in 1995 when I attended my first Longaberger home show. It was love at first sight. I signed a contract to become a consultant.
For nine years I happily worked my basket business. Longaberger changed my life through personal growth, obtaining loads of beautiful baskets, and the good amazing people I met. My life took an unexpected turn. Sadly, I didn’t renew my consultant contract. I turned my attention toward writing and sewing home decor’ goods for local decorators.
After moving from California to Montana, I finished my book and began the discovery of my new home. In Spring of 2021 when I decorated my bathroom I realized my basket liners needed to be refreshed to match the new decor. I made patterns and practiced making liners with fun fabric combinations to insure a perfect fit. After making my bathroom’s liners, I went out on a lark…I listed the prototypes on eBay. To my surprise they sold quickly and I received requests for more. Truly an opportunity presented itself.
Basket Swag reconnects me with the baskets I cherish, feeds my passion for fabrics, channels my sewing skills and quiets my heart.
