Last spring, in Marsh Harbor, our friend Pat on Reflection taught Libby and several other cruising women how to make pine needle baskets. Since then, Libby has become a real enthusiast. Her skills improve all the time. The baskets get done in less time and they become ever more creative and artistic.

In fact, we had so many that Libby passed most of them along to our daugher in law Cheryl to sell at Farmers' Markets markets.

She even got me interested and I made a couple of baskets myself. It's great fun.

Kudos to Libby.

  1. Good morning, The baskets got A LOT of attention at the Farmer's Market in Clinton on Thursday. People were admiring the detail in the designs, many commented on the "earthy" aroma of the pine needles.
