A
note from Geoff to Sharon on Wednesday 19th April 2006
"How long since we went on a picnic??
Well, it's just over two years ago - Sunday 2th March 2004!!
Here is a shot of you taken that day
and if you click on the photo
you will see the complete albumn of our day around Mossman and
the beaches north of Cairns
Now look closely at the photo - crappy old plastic containers
BUT NOW WE CAN PICNIC IN STYLE!!
We will even have the company of Queen Elizabeth II!!
I hope you like the set,
and as soon as it arrives, yes, you can plan a picnic for us!!"

---The Ebay Auction
Picnic
Basket
Both elegant and practical!!
Don’t be fooled by cheap plastic sets!!
This is an exquisitely handcrafted wicker picnic basket
It is fully lined with quilted cotton
The basket is stylish yet durable, and will give you pride in
its ownership
The basket includes over thirty pieces of real utensils
There is no plastic in this picnic set!!
Contains settings for four people
and also included is a four-cup thermos, with four crockery cups,
plates, etc
Truly, this set is one to own for many years
Size closed - 53cm wide x 20cm high x 35cm deep
An email I sent to the seller during the auction
Hi, and I have just placed a bid on the hamper
The photos show the item very nicely, and it looks great,
but could you please confirm that there is no damage or chips
to any of the pieces,
as you don't actually mention the condition in your auction details
Also, just for information, is there any sort of maker's marks
on the hamper and/or the contents??
Plus, do you have any idea of the age, ie, new, one year, five
years old, etc, etc
Thanks, and I hope the auction is a success for you - Geoff
......and the reply
Hello Geoff
Every item in the set is in pristine condition!!
No chips, some still in original plastic containers!!
About the manufacturer, I can see the authentic wicker label
As the set was a gift,
I didn’t really want to go back to giver to ask too many
more questions
Other friends have told us that the set is worth in excess of
$120.00
I believe the item is just over twelve months old - as that is
when we received it
