This is David Wesley. Sam and I met David several years ago when we were weaving our own basket at the Homestead. He is the most amazing basket maker. Shortly after meeting him we ran into him again and again; once in Williamsburg for a Longaberger Away Tour, then in Killeen TX for another Away Tour. Each year we went back to the Bee or to the Homestead for an event we would see David. Apparently we weren't the only people impressed by this man. Tami Longaberger chose him to "star" in their first edition of Longaberger Home, a video magizine. PLEASE check it out on my website

The new Mother's Day Basket. What you can't see in this picture is the beautifully hand-painted lid knob that accompanies this beautiful basket and compliments it perfectly!
Ah, the ultimate! This is the 3rd in a series from the Master Crafters of Longaberger baskets. It is truly a work of art and one I shall have, by golly!
Taken from the 5th fllor of the Hyatt Regency, downtown Columbus Ohio on a very cold snowy day. No matter; I was toasty warm inside and all our classes, demos, and exibitions were inside the building so we didn't have to venture out unless we wanted to.....And I did not!
The new Botanical Weave shown on the ever-popular Boardwalk Basket. This is the basket I take to the grocery store with me and when they say, "paper or plastic," I say BASKET!!
