The Historic Charleston City Market was one of things I most wanted to see while we were in Charleston, and it was also the place I wanted to get my one souvenir…a sweetgrass basket.

I wasn’t disappointed. The Market was as busy as I hoped it would be, and there were many basket makers, with baskets of different styles from which to choose. I was very happy to purchase our basket from DNA Baskets, which is owned by a lovely couple, who were patient enough to show Bunny and Ladybug how basket-weaving is done!

The Market has been the heart of Charleston for centuries…if you ever have a chance to visit the city, you must take time to stroll through and find something to purchase!
