Southwestern Ontario Basketry Guild
April 26th, 2009 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
Found some more great Blogger blogs as I was surfing around last night. Most have to do with basketry of course! Got a lot of great ideas from this blog that I’m implementing in my own. See the Picasa Google collage? I did the same thing with my antler basket patterns photos.
Here’s a new basket guild’s blog that seems really active and doing great things: http://southwesternontariobasketryguild.blogspot.com/
Keep in mind that you can always join a guild even though you don’t live near enough to attend meetings. Just join to support the group, get their newsletter and to attend annual meetings or basket conventions when possible.

North Carolina Long-Time Basketmaker Selling Supplies!
February 10th, 2007 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
Mary Kurh from North Carolina sent me the following message regarding the sale of her terrific basketweaving supplies –
Okay folks, this is it. After almost twenty years of weaving, I’m hanging up my reed cutters and passing on my precious supplies. I have sorted, bundled by type and size, and packaged everything neatly (except for one bag of miscellaneous “stuff”) in see-through plastic trash bags so a potential buyer can see what is inside.
I wish to sell everything for $500.00, or best offer ABOVE $500; believe me, there’s more than that amount in handles alone! Everything has been stored in covered tight containers and is in excellent condition; I have purchased only high quality materials. You may sell off what you do not wish to keep (and make a profit), but I will not sell items piecemeal. It’s “all for one and one for all,” as they say on e-Bay.
If you are local to the Raleigh, NC area, you may inspect the supplies by giving me a call at 919-847-5979. If you do not live in the area, feel free to e-mail me at mzkuhr@nc.rr.com or call me for the full list of available supplies or have any other questions.
I will not be attending the North Carolina Basketmakers’ Association Convention in Durham on March 22-25, but I can arrange for pickup at my home (fairly close to the hotel) during that week.
Thanks for looking! Mary Kuhr
