We worked on some new Pumpkin candles today. We got 42 of them done. We chose a variety of sizes and colors of pumpkins. They will range in different prices according to the size of the pumpkin. They start at $10.00, $14.00 and $20.00 . If interested contact us with your information. Today we prepared for fall tomorrow back to Christmas.

Another caddy in green. This one does not have the decorative
piece on top.
Another view of our caddy baskets and shelf. Used in the kitchen. Good for
pills and other counter junk.
This is a shelf with our baskets on it. The first basket on the left is the size of a peck basket. The one on the top right is the size of a window palnter. Looks good on mantles too.

Handmade baskets

These are some of the baskets we make. They are all hand made by us . They are maple splint and woven on molds with a weaving horse just like at Longaberger. Our most popular ones are the ones in the wooden shelves. There are 2 styles of those. Our husbands cut and make those for us.
We finally finished 35 tables and we are ready to start painting more snowmen tables. We have lots of snowman scenes that we have painted before on buckets. We decided after painting about 1000 buckets a year for 3 years we can't look at another bucket. The tables are taking about 3 times as long to paint , but it was a nice break from buckets.

Okay that's it for yesterday's work. This heat is just too much on you and we do all of our work outside in the garage. It's already noon and we can't force ourselves outside yet. Maybe we see a day off in the near future. Like right now. Feel free to leave comments. We will not be shipping picnic baskets. The price is too high for these to ship. We are willing to ship the tables, like I said before the price is $25.00 per table plus the shipping price to your zip code. If interested send us your zip and we can get it calculated.

This is what we have done for now. Would you please leave a comment about the ones you think would be the best sellers? Also do you think were on the right track for the background colors of the tables? Do you have any suggestions for the scenes? I would love to be able to paint the Terry French designs but unfortunately I'm not that gifted of a painter. Thank you for your input ladies. :]




Tables

These are a few of the tables my mom and I painted last week. We have about 8 more to paint tomorrow. Hopefully we get the majority of them done. I'm still in shock I posted some pictures. :]
