the baskets that you knit are beautiful
What a wonderful Lady, I could listen to her talking about anything and feel intrigued. Beautiful People do still exist!
They're coming to take me away, haha…they're coming to take me away!
I have my own Willow tree to work with, so your talk about preparation was most informative and welcome and inspires a fun mission.
Wonderful
Where can I find willows ?! My aunt gathers them but they live 4 hours away.
I brought some on line, check out eBay/ Amazon
Elizabeth Stanley link or name of it ? I’ve searched online but I need red willows.
Oh, mine weren't red willows, idk about them. Sorry
Beautiful lady, I love your accent.
