Czechoslovakian Lady with Basket Figurine (Collage)

This is another vintage find from my forays with my sister to our local antique mall. This figure (about six inches in height) was locked up in a corner of a glass fronted cabinet and was part of a 50% off sale.

Of course, as soon as I saw her, I was enthralled. Her little china basket is perfect to hold rings or other trinkets on my desktop. She is utterly charming. I think I will get some tiny posies at the farmer's market later on today and fill up her basket. Happy treasure hunting!

Here is a bushel basket of Ragamuffin yarn that I have been spinning this week. The unspun strips are shown below. I'm going to experiment with some two-ply rag yarn tonight. I'll post those pictures later this week. Happy December!
