I decided to buy some wood items, a woodburning tool, and some twine. And I made them!!





The best part about giving gifts to my best friend is, a) she really, truly loves everything I send her and b) she uses everything I send her. It makes me feel so good to go to her house and see her using the wooden spoons I bought her in the Chianti region of Italy, the lemon infused olive oil I got her in Sorrento, all the stuff I bought her in Portland, and the pinch box I found at Goodwill! You can see the pinch box in the background of this picture.
These she loved not only because are they gosh darn cute, but because I made them! It was only minutes between when she called me to tell me she just opened the package, to her sending me these pictures.
We've already discussed making more because since I left, they've added marjoram, Greek columnar basil, garlic and onions.
Time to get burnin!

What a good and talented friend! Don't feel bad about the basil as Anne can't grow it in the house either. The animals tend to get the outdoor basil.
very cute!...you did a great job....i love things that are decorative and useful at the same time!!....hmmmm....i may need a set of those if i ever get to retire and raise a garden again!
Gil: Oh, I feel much better now. I thought my green thumb was broken! LOL
ATB: RuthAnn, you just let me know what you need and I'll make sure your garden is fully equipped! :)
