PINE NEEDLE BASKETS

Santa Catarina 2009 Casino Project

Family members pose for a photo with their pine baskets. A casino ordered hundreds for table decorations for one of their resort events and most of the Mexican Indio weavers pitched in to complete the order for the deadline.

U.S. Importer in Santa Catarina (same trip):

Bob (pictured left) called me and dropped JB Kingery's name and asked if I wanted to ride to Santa Catarina to buy stuff from locals for his business. I agreed.

Where's JB? They all asked me...

JB had not been down there in a couple years since his Shumup Ko Hup store closed and everyone was asking about him.

I don't have much more detail than this.
