MJ gave me permission to let you all know... she took pictures of the 3 baskets and the bell that she bought from me and she's going to use them in her next book "Outpost"! Ahhhhhhhhhh! I am so excited and happy and I feel so honored I could scream, jump up and down and cry at the same time. I just can't keep this to myself. This is such a big deal to me. My stuff, these baskets that I have so much fun making, are going to be in a book. And not just ANY book - but one of MaryJane's books!

Lisa,
This is so exciting, I'am so happy for you. Your baskets are beautiful, I have looked at them often on your site. I would be jumping up and down too if I were you, being in an MJ book is a very very good thing.

Lisamarie, HIGH FIVE, girlfriend! Maryjane does indeed have good taste for picking the treasures you create. Can't wait for her next book and how cool for you that your creations are gracing the pages, too! I bet I am not the only farmgirl who is interested in knowing what your price range is.......! Keep creating! Nance

Thank you all so much. Yes, Elizabeth, I do sell them, though my success has been VERY slow in coming. I am currently working on taking pictures of them individually so I can attach a price to each one on my blog. My best friend, Rose, is really pushing and won't let me wait until I get a camera of my own. She's been letting me use her camera. Then she has to download the pics and email them to me. So I will have prices on my blog soon. Nancy, my price range starts at about $45 for small ones and up to $400 for the biggest one. I try to keep a wide range so that most folks can afford one if they wish. I was even thinking about doing a layaway program to help folks get what they really want without going broke.

Thank you all again for the compliments. I am on cloud 9.
