Granny's Gift by Dani Sue Anderson $90.00

The last basket supply Granny ever ordered was seagrass. It was one of the things she was out of, and she needed just a little; so, she was going to order me a roll to get me started and also one for her. Well, something happened, and she accidently ordered a whole box of seagrass, 25 coils of it. She checked into returning it, but the shipping was so high, it made more sense to keep it. She told me that day that I would be using this seagrass after she was dead and gone. Well, we are indeed using it; each member of the Flock 2020 received a coil of that seagrass – hence the basket name Granny’s Gift. This basket design is rich in story and detail and is no small thing. Basket dimensions, 70” circumference, 22.5” diameter and 11” radius. The 5” wooden round base would have a personalized engraves letter on it and also has a hanger notch out of the back of the base for easy hanging. Colors options available before conference.
