Tinay Studio Custom Wicker–Monday Mention

MONDAY MENTION– Today I’m giving a shout-out to someone I’ve written about here on the blog before, Peeta Tinay of Tinay Studio located in Tacoma, Washington.

Peeta had her wicker repair business listed on my National Furniture Repair Directory™-Wicker Experts for many years, but just recently decided not to renew her advertising. As she explained, she’s getting away from the antique wicker furniture restoration and moving more toward custom wicker design and also teaching her basketry skills to others.

Take a look at her website Tinay Studios to get an idea of the beautiful custom wicker she’s famous for.

And also visit her Facebook Page at Peeta Tinay Wicker and Basketry to see her current direction in basketry and teaching.

Thank you Peeta for advertising your antique wicker restoration business with me for so many years, and wishing you all the best in future endeavors with basketry and teaching!

Happy Weaving!

Closing down WickerWoman on Blogger.com

December 11th, 2010 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

Victorian fan back wicker rockerWell, we’ve almost completed migrating the entire Weavin’ Wicker Woman blog from Blogger.com to my domain site here on WickerWoman.com, and will once again take up the weekly if not daily routine of regular posting.

Still having “issues” with some of the widgets and other design elements, but will be up and running again real soon just the way I want it.

Thanks for sticking with me during this transition and stay tuned for much more about chair caning, wicker repair, antiques, and a bit of personal “stuff” too.

I’ve been blogging now since 2004 and have shared a ton of information with my viewers during those years. I will be continuing to provide the great information with loads of pictures to accompany the posts.

Happy Weaving and Collecting! Cathryn's signature

October 12th, 2009 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog


The Pine Needle Group (PGN) an 11-year old Yahoo! Groups newsletter, which until recently was hosted (including photo albums) on a no-cost site, now has its own official domain website! http://www.PineNeedleGroup.com

Webmaster and originator of the on-line guild, Pamela Zimmerman, just made the announcement a few days ago on her blog, Catching the Moon, and is in the process of copying all the old pictures and pages to the new website.

She will be adding to the new PGN website and restoring as many features as she can from the old site, and will also feature PGN basketmakers on her blog.

Congratulations to all the members of Pine Needle Group and Pamela Zimmerman, for your on-line longevity, service to the basket community and for promoting this worthwhile craft so expertly!

New Feature — WICKER WEDNESDAY WISDOM!

April 15th, 2009 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog


I’m beginning a new feature here on Wednesdays called, “WICKER WEDNESDAY WISDOM!” which will feature either a wicker hint, tip, technique or some other tantalizing tidbit about wicker in general.

Since almost everyone lumps together the terms, wicker furniture, chair caning and other types of seatweaving and basketry all “wicker,” this new weekly wicker segment might be about any of the three; wicker furniture, seatweaving or basketweaving.

The next post will launch the official “WICKER WEDNESDAY WISDOM!” here on Weavin’ Wicker Woman’s Blog! Stay tuned!
