Lone Pine Basket Featured on Fresh Peaches Designs!


We just had the nicest convo from a fellow Etsy seller to tell us our "Lone Pine" pine needle basket was featured on her blog! Click here to check it out! Also, the photo on the right is one of Fresh Peaches Designs pieces which you can find at her Etsy shop.

A Must Read Blog!

I know some of our customers are knitters, but even if you don't knit, you really should check out Crazy Aunt Purl's Blog. It has a little bit of everything--good Southern charm (you can't beat photos of fried okra), funny photos of her cats, oh and great knitting tips! You'll not only learn a little about knitting, you'll learn some great life lessons.

New Baskets!


We just finished some new smaller baskets in time for this weekend's show. They are made from dyed Ponderosa pine needles and are decorated with carved horn, carved bone, turquoise, carnelian and wood.

Thursday
