Sweetest Ever, Very Folky Small Sailor Made Macrame Basket with Scalloped Lip lion and goat and I believe they cameI do believe this is the sweetest and folkiest little sailor made basket I've ever seen! Feels almost as if made to serve as the loving nest for a bird's egg. Nothing quite regular about it, with some scallops on the scalloped edge scalloping a little higher than others. All the better and more dear in hand, and of course all the better for knowing this was made by a crafty sailor at sea, likely to bring home as a sweetheart gift a total charmer. 2 1
