At <a href="http://caneandbasket.com">Cane & Basket Supply Co.</a> in Los Angeles, customers demonstrate a trait not always associated with Southern California: thrift. In these tough times, many are looking to repair old furniture rather than replace it. This 75-year-old business fixes cane seats that have given out, wicker hampers that have unraveled and other old stuff that simply needs some TLC. Don Taylor says he has been coming to the shop for years to have chairs repaired as well as to buy art supplies. Here he swings by to purchase bamboo and half-round reed for his artwork.
