SUMMER WIND

TOP TEN REASONS WHY I LOVE SUMMER

I've been a little behind in my posting, so I thought I share three reasons why I love summer with you today.

REASON #7

Nantucket basket style purse. Okay, this isn't the real thing - just a replica. Look at the top - there's no carving on it, but I love it just the same. This has been in my collection for about ten years.

REASON #6

Another favorite is this mini picnic basket purse. I believe this one came from Basketville. This is really cute, and someday I'm going to decoupage the lid. I've probably had this one about eight or nine years.

REASON #5

My Longaberger. As you can see, this one is well worn, and rightfully so because it's been used more than any of the others over the last twelve summers. They do make quality baskets. What s nice about this one is that it has an adjustable shoulder strap, and peek inside - look at all those compartments! It's signed and dated 1997.
