Anishinaabek author and local Leelanau artist Lois Beardslee create these beautiful sweet grass baskets. Each basket has detailed porcupine quill imagery woven into birch bark lids. You have to smell them in person to experience the relaxing aroma. Each basket is one of a kind and signed by the artist.
