Gourd Bags
Marianne Barnes' husband Jim will have gourd bags for sale at cherokee. He will have them available at Marianne's classes. He has many lengths. They can carry your gourds or used to hang them out of the way.

Contact Marianne at maribasket@charter.net for more information.


Wanted:
A good quantity of Philodendron leaves, dyed pine needles,
and other interesting naturals.

Will Trade:
I will have sea shells, raffia, some items suitable for use as gourd stands, some large feathered plumes, odd beads etc.

Contact:  Sandy McGurn

I have donated 24 gourds to a local Girl Scout troop to make bird houses to be donated to nursing homes, the town park, etc.

I would like to know if any of you would like to make donations of paint (partial bottles, odd colors -- whatever you find you may no longer need or want), or other things used for birdhouses.

You can just bring it to Cherokee!

Thanks,
Dianne Schuler

Wanting to trade.....

I have a bunch of Chesapeake Bay Crab Pot Floats, and oyster basket 
bottom "half's," I've found while walking the beaches.  All are in 
various states of condition, depending on how long they were in the 
bay.  Some have barnacles on them, various colors, and some with 
ropes still attached.  I also have a limited amount of oyster and 
clam shells to trade.  Also a limited amount of Trumpet Vine (empty) 
seed pods....  4 to 6" long, in the shape of a slightly bend 
canoe....  Wanting to trade for "organic" plant, materials, or any 
thing interesting.

If you are interested, please contact me at sensen@localnet.com so I 
will know what to bring...
