May Day Baskets.

Hi - didn't have time to post the pictures of my May Day Baskets but they are ready to be delivered!  I hope my friends enjoy this delightful, old tradition.  I hope the weather is May 1st perfect, meaning warm.  Happy May Day to you.

Rainy Day Baskets

It is pouring here in Central MA so I thought I would spend some time making baskets.  I have made a few May Day baskets to give to friends.  I also have two orders to fill.  I will take some pictures and put them on my blog tomorrow after they are stained.  I hope tomorrow is nice outside so I can stain them.  Wishing you sunshine!

Louis Loves His Easter Basket

Hi
Just thought I would include a picture of my dog, Louis, on my blog.  I just finished making a few more baskets.  I guess Louis liked this one for himself because he carried it over to his bed!  I will stain it for him and fill it for Easter.  I have been making many baskets and will post pictures of the baskets soon.

Easter Tags

A friend gave me some wonderful Easter tags. They are varied pictures of old vintage rabbits and rabbit families. They look great on the baskets. I left the remainder of my Easter baskets at Cat Alley Antiques in Barre. This is a little antique store on the common in Barre. There are many great things to see and buy. I have a spot where I sell my antiques as well as baskets.

New Easter Basket

Hi

I just finished a new Easter Basket. I think it is really sweet so I decided to share it. I dyed the reed a spring green which is a really pretty color. Although I made this as an Easter Basket, it really can be used year round. It has a hand painted panel on the front of two bunnies. Enjoy!

Asparagus Festival

I will be selling my baskets at the Asparagus Festival in May. I just got a few orders for Easter Baskets so I will be making many in the weeks to come. Finally, spring has arrived. I can now stain my baskets and dye the reed outside.

Studio Open House

We had lots of people at our Open House yesterday and today. Now that I am learning to Blog, I will post more pictures and activities. I hope to become a more active blogger. I have lots of Easter Baskets for sale. Here's a little sample of what was here at the Open House.
