I need help identifying a Longaberger -UPDATE

[Disney st8 of mind]

I have aquired a rather large Longaberger basket and I can't figure out what it is so I can look into accessories for it. Maybe someone out there has an old catalog or something! I don't know how long this basket was offered but mine is dated 2004. It is 26" by 20" and 13.5" high. It has a solid board bottom and four legs and no handles. I've done multiple google searches and I haven't seen one picture that looks like this. It may have been a hostess only basket, but again I'm not sure. I've even searched online for a pdf version of the 2004 wishlist and no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

Baskets need accessories?

Baskets need accessories?

They use liners or lids.

I am sure that I have a 2004 Wishlist. It's late but I will look for it tomorrow, if you don't have an answer by then.

Is the basket a solid color? Does it have any other markings besides the date? Are you sure it's a Longaberger? I don't remember many having a solid bottom with feet.

Sorry, I don't know how to add a picture here. The basket doesn't have any other colors on it, but it does taper a little to the bottom where it's 20 by 15. It has the Longaberger logo burned in the bottom with the weavers initials and date. My friend thinks someone added the feet themselves, but they're attatched nicely with a rivet type thing going from the top down and each foot has a little rubber pad on the bottom of it.

I wonder if that might be a sewing basket - the kind that stands.

My friend called me today and she found a picture of my basket! It's the Hostess Housekeeping Basket.

I am so sorry that I did not get back to you on Sunday. I am taking medication that I call my "stupid" pills.........because they make me stupid and forgetful.

I did look it up in the wishlist, it was available to hostesses that had a $500 show. Original cost was $280, they offered a plastic protector for $36 and an over the edge liner for $46. It's listed as the housekeeper basket.

It was available from 2004 through 2007.

That's okay marybet ... I don't even take stupid pills and I've been forgetting to make the same phone call for 2 weeks now! Thanks for all the additional info, now maybe I can luck out and find at least a protector for it.
