Each year our local elementary school has a huge fall carnival. These are the baskets I put together for the silent auction.
I am most excited about the Little Golden book collection. How sweet are these stories?
Next comes the classroom theme basket. Our theme this year is "That's Italian". The contents depend upon classroom donations. I am nearly certain we will end up with 8 jars of pasta sauce and 14 boxes of pasta. I bought yards and yards of red, white and green tulle, so I think it will end up looking fun. And I found some amazing vintage Bocce ball, and some vintage Italian travel guides. I can hardly stand how cool these are.
If no one else thinks it is wonderful, I am taking it back home with me.
You baskets look full of wonderful things!

I remember reading the poky little puppy when I was a little girl. You're baskets are so pretty (and so perfectly lisa sp-ish)

You really are a creative genius!! I totally adore these baskets - great job! I hope they brought in a lot of money for the school.

I would have bought a basket at our church's school's silent auction if they were cute-adorable like that. Goodness, you're talented.
ps I've been wanting you and Shannon to know each other, and I see she commented here on your blog, and I'm so happy. She's so talented and wonderful, you'd love her.
