The first item, chosen at random, is one that has just passed through my hands. I put it on Etsy this week, and it sold within the hour.

This is a strange piece of folk art - a small basket with a religious message woven into its body. The words around the basket say:
"PRAY TRUST FAITH HOPE LOVE
FOR HAPPY MARRIAGE
CHRIST IS THE FOUNDATION
BY REV. DINAH"
It's beautifully and very finely woven, and I think it might be African. You have wonder - who was the Rev Dinah? Was it a wedding present, perhaps?
