Happy Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We had a yummy turkey and all the trimmings. We ate so much yesterday that everyone was moving a little slowly this morning.
The shop is open today and Saturday, so stop on by so you can get started weaving those holiday baskets.
We have several new kits that would make great holiday presents, or try one yourself. The Doorknob kits are part of a new line of "ready to weave" kits. No prep time needed. The spokes are pre-cut and the kit includes dyed reed for the accent rows. Choose from Navy blue or maroon.
Happy Weaving!

Last three classes of 2006.

This is it, the last three classes of 2006 and your last chance of the year to learn how to make some great ornaments and baskets perfect for gift giving.

The melon basket is a classic and something everyone should learn how to weave.

The 4 ornaments Swedish Star, Reindeer, Puffy Heart and Winter Snowflake) make good gifts and look great on the top of a wrapped package.

The Mini Square Bean Pot Basket is easy to fill with small extras and makes a great hostess gift. The unusual lashing technique and cute mini bean pot handle make it unique.

Visit www.countryseat.com for the dates and registration forms.

We are currently working on our 2007 class schedule.
Let us know what types of baskets you'd like to make!
