Oh my gosh. I had no idea, Mary & so cool if you think of it! Baskets used to be used allot more than nowadays. Cripes basket weaving is a lost art in itself. I did it when I was a kid even, I remember, barely! Maybe in church? Maybe blue birds? I got my blue bird pin. Anyone do blue birds similar to Girl scouts! I must not have been in it long though, but remember how I loved the uniform! And especially myself getting the pin! Wow I haven't thought of that for years!

Nope, not Blue Birds, but went all the way through to Senior Girl Scouts. Still have my Girl Scout manuals, too, and found a really old Girl Scout manual when they had the book sale at the public library one year. :o) Lynn PS Had girlfriends who were in Blue Birds.

I LOVE baskets. I have some very old ones that my m. grandmother had. They are prettily patterned. I remember making a basket in school, too. Just a little one. Now that I think about it, I have seen totes made from woven grass cloth. That might be an idea for Lynn to use if she could put up with the 'hay' smell they give off until they have been around a while. I have heard of the Blue Birds, but was only in Brownies one year. We lived so far out in the country that it was very inconvenient for my mother to take me, then come back and get me. I didn't mind not going though. I would rather be home on the farm where I could traipse through the woods.
