[MR] Baskets, chests

[M'lady Foxy]

I use a large basket (rectangle shape with handles cut into basket not handled round) with a tablecloth with rope drawn through the edges(leave rope extra long so you don't have to rethread it).. this way I take my feastwear out loosen the rope on tablecloth lay out tablecloth then feastwear.You have everything you need in one basket.plus tablecloth catches any crumb that may be attached to plates if washing options aren't there.It's worked well for me.I found a large tablecloth works best in round shape..kinda works like a sack.
