$3.35 I got from the empty beer cans I picked up along the road for this Pewter like ice stein from my daughter Angie.

Traded the pewter like ice stein for this nifty basket with a deer head attached. (just between you and me, I think I got took)
Trade #3
My brother-in-law Brian traded me a framed stamp collection for the deer head basket which he wanted so he could give the basket back to my sister as part of her Christmas present…(I thought that was a beautiful idea)
I will post the stamp collection here as soon as he delivers it to me, hopefully by early February

The deer head basket looks nice, DM! I’m glad you posted a photo. When you first mentioned a “deer head basket”, I was thinking it was made of an actual deer’s head….. Not that I object to hunting, but I wasn’t sure how a deer looking across the table at me might be a good decorating piece…..
