About Us

Past Basket has built a reputation for having special things - collectibles, hand-made items - things that tell a story. If you have been to our shops in Geneva, Illinois, or Milwaukee, Wisconsin, you know this.

If you haven't, this site will give you a peek into owner Linda McFadden's Treasure Trove. "For the home or for the garden, for a casual lifestyle, or elegant, the gathering of items from ordinary to unique or one of a kind has been my passion for 50 years. The search is what still energizes each day for me. Not a pack rat, sharing these items with you will continue to be what gets me up each day."
