I love this Basket. My Father in law gave it to me years ago. It was his Grandma's and Mother's egg gathering Basket.

| Nancy Jo, write down the history of the basket on one of your handmade cards. Include some photos. So many of our little heirlooms have stories behind them that are lost. |

What a beautiful basket, Nancy Jo. The history behind our treasures is what makes them extra special~
I inherited my grandfathers glass egg collection. There is about 40 eggs in the collection, all different sizes, and each one unique. Also a small wire gathering basket. I also have his collection of small opaque glass chickens on a nest box. Have only ever found one other in all my years of searching. My grandparents had a farm in upstate NY, and have so many wonderful memories there.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful treasures~

You and I have a lot of favoriote things in common, I have noticed as I follow your blog (I guess that is why I always check out your blog!). And baskets is one of those common interests. That is a wonderful basket, and the fact it is a family heirloom makes it priceless!!! Love it. Egg baskets are my absolute favorite type. There is something so personal about them, or down home. Then comes picnic baskets. Both have to do with food....hmmm? :)

Mary Beth that is a funny story! I usually collect my eggs in my apron. I've dropped a few. The basket is so beatiful.
It's all good!
