haha! Nicole, I asked because I remembered some contention a few months back about a photo being posted that wasn't taken by the person who posted it. :p I love your marble-top table! I have two rectangular marble slabs that I picked up at a marble quarry in Vermont many years ago. I'd love to make one into a table top, but I don't do woodworking to custom-make the base. lol! FWIW, a marble slab is great for rolling pie crusts and making candy (like pouring out caramels and fudge) because it stays cold better than other surfaces. :) Thanks for the kudos on the basket/photo! I didn't take the photo though, so I'll probably be in trouble. lol! and if you look really close at the top of the basket, to the right of the handle, you'll see that the border wasn't finished perfectly. The willow got a little too stiff and started to peel and crimp so I just needed to get it done asap. ;o)

I just discovered (ie, opened) this topic. He was on my porch about 10 days ago. But I'll share him anyway. I got home from work and he was patient enough to allow me to run in for the camera, and to photograph a few times. Haven't seen him since!

An organization we belong to is having a huge yard sale as a fundraiser for the club, we were dropping stuff over the last couple of days, and helping set up. My wife snapped a picture of the stuff in the tent and posted in on Facebook. In this background of one picture was this "Pig Lamp". Several of her Facebook friends noticed it in the background and want it, and are starting a veritable bidding war, including one person who lives in South Dakota.

At a restaurant we visited on the Oregon Coast, they have transparent panels set into the floor so that you can see sea lions that climb up onto platforms beneath the restaurant.
