Vintage Clam and Oyster baskets are a HOT commodity! I am always on the hunt for the best ones in antique stores or at our local Alameda Flea Market. Versatile for so many practical and pretty ideas at a beach home.
Discovered at the Alameda Flea Market - personally, I am always looking for the painted ones!
Here are a few of my favorite ideas that I've been collecting!
Probably, my favorite idea! Love how easy this look was to make - add moss, rope and candles and you have created a warm romantic glow for an outdoor party. Honestly, though, I would be scared to death of the moss, due to the fire hazard, and would think of using maybe stones instead. Source
Super cute idea! Use for "beachy" kitchen storage - idea from Coastal Living's 2008 Idea Cottage found on House of Turquoise
A beach house chandelier! Love how creative this lighting piece is from Brooke of All Things Thrifty
A convenient, seaside idea to store extra pillows, blankets and towels.
Show off your beach gathered driftwood!
Practical use for firewood for a beach fire, or to use inside with a nautical-rustic decorating scheme.
A handy spot to show off your nautical charts? (love this - spotted at Watson Kennedy in downtown Seattle!)
Well, of course you could actually use a clam basket for collecting clams or oysters!
Just in case you are not lucky enough to have a great flea market or antique shops near you, we still have a few suggestions from our store that might work for your beach home too!

What do think? Would love to know if you are a collector of clam baskets too!
P.S. One more cute piece I have to show you from Kolene Spicher's Collecting Shells Art
So true!
