According to Betty-Lou Mukerji&#039;s book, <u>Chinese Sewing Baskets</u>, the baskets were shipped over without decorations. The beads and tassels were added either by the shops that imported the baskets, or by the women who purchased them. The decorations could be bought at shops in the various &quot;Chinatown&quot; markets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
