String Thing


This is a string basket/thing that I got at the swap meet. I thought it was the coolest thing, so I had to buy it. It was $1. It's probably worth $1. I no more "da eye" like my sisters.

Neato looking! It is worth much more than $1. Can you imagine the work involved wrapping the string around and around?

ohmyyy, worth so much more than a dollar...I know what kind of work it takes to make one of these, my hairdresser made these in the shape of eggs one easter. She said it was a pain in the butt! But they're cute yah! she put marbles in hers so they make noise and made it prettier

I'm thinking a dollar is offensive to those who make these. I think it's quite neat!

I know exactly what you mean, Susan. Wait until you see a beaded bracelet that I got for $5. I feel bad for the person who made it. All that hard work.

What is it for?

jalna said...

LOL, Erick, my sisters would totally crack up at your question. There's a story behind the basket that I didn't elaborate on. I actually gave the basket to one of my sisters right after I bought it. I told her, "Here . . . for you. There are SO MANY WAYS you could use this." Apparently, there aren't because somehow I ended up with it at our Regift Grab Bag game on Christmas.

Hmmm... I'm not sure what you're going to use that for either, but darn... It makes for a really super gorgeous photo!

I think it's just cool, Kay.
