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)

Very cool pictures this morning. Although, vetaal, repose?? He looks more like he's licking his lips to me!!! LOL I hope you were using a long, long zoom lens for that picture!

I hope you'll share more Brooklyn pictures, Vetaal. I'm a Queens/Manhattan girl myself, but your city images are awesome. From my kitchen window:

While we are showing old photos, I'll show you a couple and maybe they will help explain why I get confused so easily. Left to right, my dad, my Uncle Harold, My Aunt Red. I don't know who is in the back ground; probably my grandmother. These were taken around 1940. My Uncle Harold, my dad and My Aunt Red
