Rare Hand Painted TULIPS Basket Sitter for Longaberger Baskets Signed FREE SHIP. This is one of the many basket sitters that my friend, Hazel, hand painted for my collection of Longaberger baskets in the 1990s. I have enjoyed them so much that I am selling the new extras I have so others can enjoy them and personalize their baskets. Please look at first photos to see it on one of my baskets. THE LISTING DOES NOT INCLUDE BASKET. I am now retired and downsizing, so I am keeping the special ones that mean the most. Hazel was a very talented painter and a dear friend. Her husband did the woodwork. The wooden basket sitters are painted with acrylics paints and sealed. The basket sitter sits on a basket that’s rim is a tad over .25” or under.
