A note from NANCY, on the one thing I would bring home first this winter

A letter from the founder

Five Winters on the Town Square. This Is the Basket I Would Put in Your Hands First.

I sell sweaters, jackets and boots, so I know how this sounds. But if you are only going to bring one new thing into the house this winter, I would make it this basket, and I will tell you exactly why.

Nancy Owner of Nancy Susan Moulton, Jackson Hole November 2026 5 min read

I opened Nancy Susan Moulton five years ago, in a little shop just off the Town Square, after years of teaching skiing on the mountain. I had one rule then, and it has not changed since: if it does not work on the fortieth cold morning, it does not go on the rail.

It is November now. The first snow is on the Tetons, the mornings are in the teens, and the Teton Park Road closed last week like it does every year. Everyone in town is wearing three layers before breakfast.

And here is the thing nobody tells you about a real winter. It is not more clothes. It is more laundry. Thermals, wool socks, the second sweater, wet mittens off the boot tray, the towel you keep for the dog. By the middle of December it is all on a chair, because the basket is a plastic thing in the closet and nobody wants to walk to the closet.

On the mountain, the first thing you teach a six-year-old is that everything needs a home. Gloves in the left pocket. Goggles on the helmet. The kid whose things have no home is the one crying in the lodge at ten in the morning. A house in winter works the same way. A basket in the closet is a trip you make once a week. A basket in the room is one you actually use.

So I went looking for one pretty enough to leave out. There are six things I would tell you about it, in the order I would point them out.

Run your fingers over it. The bee, the daisies and the stems all stand up off the quilting. You feel it before you see it.

1

The bee is raised, not printed.

Most decorated baskets carry a flat print that fades the first winter you drag it across the floor. On this one the bee and the daisies are embroidered on, thick and dimensional, in cream and mustard and black. It looks warm even on a gray morning, which in Jackson is most of them between now and March.

“This is my new laundry basket and I love it so much, not that boring old baskets which broke out of nowhere.”

It stands up on its own.

The walls are quilted, mustard honeycomb on top and soft tan below, and padded enough that the basket holds its shape empty. That matters more than it sounds. A soft basket that folds over when it’s half full is a basket you stop using by January.

Straight out of the mailer and already standing upright. No sad slump in the corner.

“I ordered two more in different colors. I love them so much!”

Finished on the inside, too.

The top folds over into a clean cream cuff, and the inside is lined in the same cream. Look down into it and you see a finished basket, not raw seams. It is the detail that makes it belong in the bedroom instead of the laundry room.

“Gives your bathroom or bedroom a complete new vibe.”

Handles that don’t bite your fingers.

The handles are thick rope wrapped in cream fabric. Anyone who has carried wet towels in a basket with thin plastic handles knows the red lines they leave across your fingers. These are soft enough to carry a full load from the dryer to the bed without thinking about it.

“I use it now for a couple weeks and my friends which have seen them are loving it as well, they ordered also and loving them.”

Big enough for the winter pile.

It is tall and roomy enough to take a full load of towels and thermals without the top layer sliding off onto the floor. When you live in three layers for five months, you need the room.

“Quality is good. It looks still like as when I ordered the basket.”

It doesn’t have to stay a laundry basket.

This is the part that surprised me. Half the women who buy one use it for blankets in the living room. Others keep it by the front door for hats, scarves and dog leashes. When something is pretty enough, it stops hiding in the closet and starts doing three jobs.

Mine ended up here. Two throws by the sofa, for the nights the wood stove can’t keep up.

“I have one in my bathroom and one in the living room. You can use it for different jobs.”

Our basket, against the ones you have been buying

You can find a laundry basket for fifteen dollars almost anywhere, and most of us have two of them in a closet. Here is the difference, laid out plainly.

Most laundry baskets

Hard plastic you hide in a closet

Flat print that fades

Thin handles that dig into your fingers

Raw seams on the inside

Slumps over when it’s half full

One job, laundry

Nancy Susan Moulton

Quilted and pretty enough to leave out

Raised embroidered bee and daisies

Thick wrapped rope handles

Lined inside, with a folded cream cuff

Stands up on its own

Laundry, blankets, the front door pile

Clutter is just things without a home. Give them one you like looking at. That is the whole reason this is the first thing I would bring home this winter.
