  1. Old Crafts

    Share Share Post
    In olden days people supplied the light of their houses with homemade candles. These candles were made with the pet of rushes dipped in grease and left in a dry place to season for a week. Also in the olden times people used to make baskets which were very useful for washing and picking potatoes. The baskets used be made of sally rods woven across.
