Hi! I'm so glad you're here.

Hi! I'm Katie. I am a mom of four kids and two crazy pups and I live on the banks of the Parker River in Newbury, MA. After studying art history in college I went on to work in an auction house and art galleries. I now am home raising my brood, but in the Spring of 2023 I started this little business. Parker River Proper was born out of my love for weaving, art, history, and everything coastal New England. 

My baskets are handmade using traditional materials and techniques with the intention of bringing beauty and FUN into our everyday lives with woven koozies, jewelry, headbands, keychains, and more. 

Thanks for checking out my page! My baskets are released in small batches. For first alert - subscribe to the newsletter and follow along on instagram - @parkerriverproper where I share all things baskets, home, family and travel.

If you don't see what you're looking for please drop me a line. I love working on larger pieces and in between mumming four kids and two dogs, I am happy to take on commissions or help source just what it is you're looking for. 

Katie

Your work is beautiful. I am a long-time Nantucket basket weaver. I don’t sell them but do gift them to friends. Would you be willing to share your source for the can coolers to put in the koozies??? Yours are amazing!!!
