Charleston-Pine Needle and Sea Grass Baskets



We met Linda, a pine needle basketmaker, at Bubba Gump's in Charleston for lunch...grits and shrimp-yumm!  Then we traveled to the open air market of Charleston, City Market.  These sea grass basketmakers are descendants from Africans in Ghana and Sierra Leonne.  Here they are comparing their baskets!!!!  And Earl hit the jackpot with $30 of pure sea grass to put in his baskets!  A lovely day!
