This sweet little basket is made on a wooden base in which #3 round reed is inserted from the bottom up. It is just the right size to hold a Yankee candle. The four ball feet are glued onto the bottom of the base. I had bought the base and ball feet many years ago from The Farmer's Wives. They included this candle patten in with the wooden pieces. The Farmer's Wives used to put out a catalog with their patterns, kits and and some of their specialty pieces for baskets. I have found through the internet that they are still weaving, but I don't know if they sell supplies any longer. Does anyone here know or have a link to them?Have a blessed Sunday,
