![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2022/06/100_0936.jpg?v 11364931) My Daughters and I were at a few garage sales this past Sat.. This Basket was my favorite find. Mostly because this old Gentleman said it was his great Grandma's. I said you sure you want to sell it? I think you should keep it. He said he was getting old and none of his family was interested in it and and wanted it to go to a good home, so he wanted me to have it . I said tell me how much you would like for it? He said I just want you to have it. Had to hold back the tears for that gift. Nancy Jo
