My new Basket!

Ann from " 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets"  and I did a swap. She made me one of her long skinny baskets for

my table. I absolutely love it!! She also made me a label that I could attach if I wanted to. I  think I will.

I love sheep, especially since my grandmother used to live on a farm and raise them, I can remember

feeding the little orphan lambs with a bottle, sooooo cute.

  Now I think I am hooked on Ann's baskets. She does such nice work. She also does

demonstrations of her basket making. She is one talented lady, If you don't own one

of Ann's baskets you don't know what you are missing. Thank you Ann, thank you for

swapping and sharing your awesome talent with me.



And one of my awesome arrangements from
Sheila, "Seasons of thy heart"

Hi, I received one of these this week. I ordered Ann one of them and I can not be happier with it. You are correct about her work is wonderful and the basket is gorgeous. I love mine, I think I'll have a new addiction, LOL. Carol's work is with extreme detail, I won a giveaway of her and my snowman is the most beautiful I have ever seen . Hugs, Eve

Hi Lecia,
for some reason my comment didn't go through this morning! Really love that basket! I'm going to go visit Ann's blog and order one. I've always had a thing for baskets! Yes, you could say I'm a basket case ;-)
I'm also on a quest for some remnant or runner like you and so many others have on your table. I've looked around here but nothing as usual!
We're enjoying a beautiful day of sunshine and it's 67. The boys just went home and the house is quiet again.

Hi Lecia,
I dearly love this basket...isn't it fun to do a swap with someone - both get the best of the deal....
Oh, I am getting one of Carols little sheep - I asked her to make me one today - and I have one of her adorable mousers too.
Everything is lovely.

Lecia, I love your new basket and Sheila's arrangement.
I used to make baskets a few years back but now I can't seem to find where to buy the supplies. Looks good on your table.
