Vendor Spotlight Information Sheet
Name and Business – Marsha Foster - Frogs Hair Baskets
Who are you? What do you sell? How and why did you get started?
Marsha Foster, a basket weaver and weaving teacher, has turned her
hobby into an opportunity to raise money for local charities. Marsha
makes all types of baskets – reed, waxed linen, ash, oak (depending on
availability) - as well as furniture. Marsha’s father was a weaver and
while he did not teach her to weave she does use his tools when
weaving.
What do you like about selling at Farmers’ Markets?
I like meeting and greeting the shoppers. It is also an opportunity to
talk about the history of weaving. And at the end of the day, if any
baskets have been sold, the money I make from the sales is used to
help others.
