I am always on the lookout for antiques for my house. Garage sales seem to be the best place to find them at a reasonable price.
I am trying to locate a young basketmaker that was working and exhibiting at the 2007 annual Adirondack antique show. He was a young man and I believe for the New York area. I have regretted the fact that I did not buy and basket handbag that was for sale. If you can help me locate him I would greatly appreciate your trouble. Looking forward to the 2008 show.
