  1. Baskets

    Share Share Post
    There is a woman of the name of Mrs Colman living in Hacketstown and she makes baskets.
    The baskets are made out of sallies which grow in every county in Eire.
    The sallies are thin and one can bend them any way one likes. If they are not thin then (noone) no one can make baskets out of them because when anyone is making baskets they have to bend the sallies, the sallies have to be bent every way to make the baskets.
