Loved your conversation with your friend Tam. I had to smile when she was talking about her husband. I tell people , my husband is like a burnt marshmallow - hard and crusty on the outside, and soft and smushy on the inside. We've been married 50 yrs. in August, would choose him again. He also loves people, the Lord, me, and our 5 kids, in laws, and 10 grands. Enjoy your flosstubes. Also, will need to go through my passed Mom's Longabergers (which she also collected) that my sister is storing. I don't remember her having the lid for the market basket.Will have to check. Also have a two drawer spool cabinet and just purchased a very rough 6 drawer last week. Kindred hearts. Thanks for the fun and inspiration.

Love every vintage machine I see. They’re such works of art, compared to our modern computerized machines. I bought myself a treadle machine for Christmas and am learning to restore them- I’ve bought 3 machines since and love to sew on all of them. They’re fun to use for decorative sewing. Thanks for sharing - I love to see what treasures are being discovered by other collectors.

I’m so excited to find your channel. Ohio born and bred. One of my FW found online was from Mansfield where I grew up and it is a 1955 , my birth year and it belonged to the mother of the wonderful seller. I was so thrilled. I have lived near Lake Erie for the last 51 years with my husband who supports my addiction. My studio and cross stitch rooms are full of Longaberger . Mostly Patriotic, the storage baskets and large picnic baskets. Congratulations on your beautiful marketplace finds.

I was a very successful Longaberger consultant back in the 90s. I would organize 2 bus trips a year and travel to Dresden from West Chester. With that being said I have so many baskets as you can imagine. I have the small gathering basket with the travel lid and will now use it at my stitchy spot as you displayed. The basket that holds your project bags is the laundry basket - I have three of those but they hold dirty laundry. I guess I could do some laundry and take one away - LOL! The other basket that you pulled the CHRISTMAS project out of is called the boardwalk basket. Love this video! I love how the 2 loves in my life (Longaberger & Cross Stitch) intertwine❣️
