Welcome to Willow Basket, where creativity, sustainability, and imagination are at the heart of everything we do. We are Shannon Johnson, Founder & CEO, and Kim Welsh, Co-Founder & COO. Together, we created Willow Basket as a place to nurture the creative potential of children and adults alike, offering eco-friendly products that inspire play, creativity, and a connection to nature.

Our store is a reflection of our commitment to sustainability and the values of Waldorf education. We offer a carefully curated selection of products designed to foster imaginative play, creativity, and mindful living. From natural wood toys to beeswax candles, organic textiles, and play silks that encourage open-ended play, we’re here to help you create spaces that spark joy, imagination, and learning.

Our Bolga baskets, handwoven from natural fibers, offer beautiful, functional storage solutions that also bring a touch of artistry into your home. These baskets are perfect for organizing, storing toys, or adding an element of natural beauty to any space. We believe in the power of simple, handmade items to transform everyday living and help families live more intentionally.

Willow Basket was born from my deep love for Waldorf education. As a long-time Waldorf parent, with children who attended Waldorf schools from preschool through eighth grade, and as a former Waldorf kindergarten teacher for seven years, I hold the Waldorf philosophy close to my heart. After stepping away from the classroom, I felt a strong desire to continue serving my community by offering products that reflect the goodness of Waldorf education—items that help families build creative, peaceful, and eco-conscious homes.

Whether you’re looking to create a nurturing space for your children, incorporate organic products into your home, or simply find treasures that inspire creative play, Willow Basket is here for you. Our products are thoughtfully chosen to encourage simplicity, sustainability, and imaginative exploration, all while supporting a greener, more intentional way of living.

Thank you for visiting Willow Basket. We are honored to be a part of your journey toward a more mindful, creative, and sustainable lifestyle.
