I just wanted to say "Happy Easter" to everyone this weekend. Hope it's wonderfully sane :)
I belong to the Thunder Bay Basket Guild and we will be having a display at the Besser Museum in Alpena, Michigan. It will be viewable, I believe, starting July 9th. I will have four of my baskets on display and I'm thrilled to have been asked to contribute to the display. We have been told the display will be up until, I believe September! Couldn't ask for a nicer Anniversary Gift.
Just thought I'd share a little smile on my day.
Have a great day and a brighter tomorrow - Terri at the Drake's Nest in Ossineke, MI
