A Tisket


A
 TASKET
I would like to show you my new
BASKET

Bob says I am a basket case alright. LOL
I am sort of obsessed with them.
I really am.

Hello
My name is Janice
I am a basket addict....
especially when it comes to splint ones;
and this is my latest one.
I purchased this from Ruth.
Thanks Ruth...I love it!


The handles make it even more special.


I decided to place it on its side inside one of my
other addictions....boxes.
Oh heck, my whole house is an addiction. 
A wonderful prim addiction!


Inside I added one of my
black dollies.
This one was purchased from my friend Dawn
at Holly Hills Primitives.
Next to her is a doll I made from a 
Black Cat Primitives pattern.
I cannot remember whom I purchased
 the bunny pillow from.
{if it looks familiar to anyone, please let me know}


This little display is on our drysink.
Notice the wire rack with the lye soap.
I bought this from a dealer who is from Pennsylvania.
So again if this looks familiar to anyone, 
please let me know.

The little area to the left is where the kitties 
like to look out the window.
I have to give them some space. :-)

Speaking of kitties...
So the other day we had a mouse in the house.
Usually in the Fall we have one come in,
so it was quite unusual to have one this time of year.
In the middle of the night I hear Shadow growling.
I get out of bed to investigate.
Shadow was in the kitchen 
trying his best to get that mouse.
Finally that mouse decided to make a run for it.
It ran out of the cupboard and ran towards me.
Now I am not afraid of mice...but it did startle me.
I jumped and Shadow jumped.
Then instead of the mouse running away,
he stands on his two hind feet, with ears wide out
to the side of his body. He was moving his front
feet like a boxer ready to fight
while making the weirdest noise.
Shadow did not know what to do. 
He looked at me as if to ask me
"Mom what do I do now?"
However as soon as he turned to look at me, 
that mouse ran into the living room.
Not sure what happened to him...
but hopefully he left the same way he came in.

That mouse sure did remind me of 
the Tom and Jerry cartoon...
when Jerry would stand on his hind legs
and try to fight Tom. LOL

I hope I did not bore you with my short story...
but afterwards it did remind me of that cartoon.

Well off to work...and hopefully no more mice
until the Fall.

Basket Friend Blessings To All!
Janice

  8. Beautiful basket! That's funny about the mouse.
    We get them in our house in the fall/winter also. Try as I may, I can never figure out how they are getting in. I'm thinking that our new little dog will keep them away.. she is already a hunter. The big guys could care less.

    Have a great weekend.

    1. I dont know how they come in either, but I do know they can get though even a bird cage, because I once put on inside. He wriggled his way out. Janice
