The table was little larger than that of a gigantic doll's-house, but it was covered with a clean, though threadbare, cloth, that had seen better days, and on it lay several old and well-thumbed books, besides two work-baskets. In an old a very old easy-chair at one side of the fire sat a lady rather beyond middle age, with her hands clasped on her lap, and her eyes gazing dreamily at the fire.
And the good creature knows nothing beyond smuggling and the custom-house and chalk marks? Why, even I ha, ha, ha! even I should have known better than that. What a little fool your enterprising idiot must be! with his work-baskets and currant jelly and his trying to make the 'Herald' a daily! It will be a ludicrous failure, of course.
Now don't speak to me, for I must count my stitches." Sylvia began to wind the wools with a swift dexterity as natural to her hands as certain little graces of gesture which made their motions pleasant to watch. Warwick never rummaged work-baskets, gossipped, or paid compliments for want of something to do.
But it was hard to decide, all by herself, whether to take G for griddle-cakes, or M for maple-syrup, or T for tree. She would take as many as she could make room for. She put up her work-box and two extra work-baskets, and she must take some French books she had never yet found time to read. This involved taking her French dictionary, as she doubted if her grandfather had one.
"There's a whole lot of useful stuff up there going to waste.

Here he held out two relics of bygone fashions to his wife. Mrs. Carraway took them silently.
Painted tubs, full of scarlet and purple fuchsias, stood in a row beside the railing; coco-nut matting, rough and brown, lay in strips across the red brick floor, and at either end of the veranda stood a deal table. One was covered with books, toys, and work-baskets. At the other sat Bridget, shelling peas.

One day, early in the charming month of May, Mary went into a wood near her home to get some branches and twigs of the willow and hazel. When her father was not busily engaged in the garden, he occupied his time in making baskets of all sorts, and particularly lady's work-baskets.
In using spool-cotton, thread the needle with the end which comes off first, and not the end where you break it off. This often prevents kinks. Work-baskets. It is very important to neatness, comfort, and success in sewing, that a lady's work-basket should be properly fitted up.
