I have several pine needle baskets that my grandmother made. They've lasted a LONG time and I love them!

When my grandmother died, I claimed her oval pine needle sewing basket with beads on top. It holds lovely memories for me. Inside the basket are her sterling silver thimble, buttonhole scissors, and her monogrammed sterling silver tatting shuttle.

One day I'd like to tackle making a pine needle basket of my own.

Your baskets are BEAUTIFUL! The horns are the perfect artistic, earthy touch. How can I sign up for your gift list?!

I contacted my brother in fla, trying to convince him to send me a bunch of pine needles. It is a no go :(

I did want to let you all know that he said they sell these needles by the bale for a few bucks each for landscaping . So if you are south you can start a new project LOL.
