    Turtle lidded basket perfect for seed storage

    Here in the Northeast according to the traditional Haudenosaunee people it was Sky Woman who brought seeds from the Great Tree of Life down to Earth and planted them on Turtle Island. I love using this basket with school children who hear this story and plant the gardens. Well made and beautiful!!

    Lovely little basket

    It's beautiful and well crafted, and the perfect storage for some of my small knitting things. I love being reminded of the craftsmanship of others as I work on my own crafts
