<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MissSissy, post: 97877, member: 1388&quot;]Thank you all for the friendly welcome!&nbsp; Hopefully someday I will be able to contribute some knowledge to the board.&nbsp; For now, please forgive me as I will be full of questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even while I was young, I always admired the craftsmanship of old items.&nbsp; I never took the time to learn about them really, just admired.&nbsp; I guess now that I have some patina to me, I finally want to learn. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wandering the forums, it amazes me how you all know who made what, the marks of the makers, the periods in which something was made, etc!&nbsp; All I can say is WOW!! </p><p><br /></p><p>I love reading the responses of information everyone has provided me with!!&nbsp; Thank you so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Komokowa - My melon/buttocks basket is approximately 13&quot; tall x 12&quot; wide x 16&quot; long, is that considered a good size basket?&nbsp; AND, thank you for letting me know it&#039;s Ash NE... I had no idea!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; How do you even begin to figure out what type of baskets you have (other than pestering the poor souls on this board)?&nbsp; I have Googled what makes sense to me on some of my other baskets, but a lot of the time, I come up empty handed.&nbsp; How do you begin to know it isn&#039;t something recently made?&nbsp; I pass up many baskets that have dust, dirt, and discoloring to them because I thought wasn&#039;t truly old, but where do I go to learn whether or not, I passed up a beautiful old basket? PS - love your baskets!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thank you all for the friendly welcomes!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
