Posts: 2,995 Best Show: $2,424 Experience: 15 # of Shows: |  Fort Hood & Longaberger if anyone in Texas is a Longaberger addict  like myself road trip to Basket Fest at Fort Hood until Oct. 21 OH my gosh!! We went today (a few minutes short of a 3 hour trip one way) I wove my own basket, took 4 of my favorite baskets that the LB family members signed, won the hourly giveaway of a special medium market basket designed for the fest in Fort Hood, and shopped my lil heart out.. They had specialty things & baskets for this event AND a clearance on retired items. Came home with incredible deals on baskets.... The people at the door were laughing at my husband he kept carrying bags to the car. |

Posts: 2,995 Best Show: $2,424 Experience: 15 # of Shows: | the only thing that would ahve made it better was if I could have gone to the one in Massachusetts at yankee candle. I kept standing there asking my husband should I buy this one ? then I'd ask his opinion on a couple I couldn't decide on. He had 2 answers 1. if you like it buy it 2. get whatever you want. One guy told him he was making it hard for the rest of the husbands. |

Posts: 2,038 Best Show: 978.00 Experience: 9 # of Shows: My Mood:  | were the baskets on sale...as compared to party prices? I didn't now they had such things. I love baskets, but not enough to pay such prices. I like ours better...just wish we had more selection. My SIL loves these things and has parties all the time. |

Posts: 371 Best Show: $1050 Experience: >1 # of Shows: | I'd LOVE to go to one of these things... I'd LOVE it even more to go to the Homestead for an actual visit. =) I've lived overseas since 2002, so I never have the chance. I am a Longaberger consultant, too, and I always hate it when guests at my shows ask about Dresden. Then, I have to say that I've never been... But, someday, I will!! |

Posts: 2,825 Best Show: 2400 Experience: 4 # of Shows: 195 My Mood:  | My hubby just tossed & burned a couple of LB baskets. They were gifts from his previous wedding & he didn't want them anymore! I don't remember what they were. I think one was a recipe card holder & another was about the size of a square napkin on taller. |

My LL just moved away but I really need to stop buying. I have baskets stashed in closets!  I hate that they discontinued the large picnic basket - that was our wedding present to just about everyone along with It's a Wonderful Life DVD, wine glasses, wine, bread, salt, PC wine bottle opener, bread knife, salt & pepper mill... - and a card with the words they say when they are moving that couple into their home. I know they have a new picnic basket but I think it's host only with $$$$ in orders. The other was like $129. Oh, well, now that I can't do that I can get a cheaper basket and put more PC in it! | |

Posts: 2,995 Best Show: $2,424 Experience: 15 # of Shows: | stashed in closets thats a crime... at my house we (ok I) buy furniture to display them on We've added a hutch to our kitchen, a smaller console type hutch in my office (threw the baskets away that came with it) and a couple of their tables and bookshelves. Yesterday they had a line of all maple furniture and accessories not sure if that is a new trend for them or not. |

Once a gift is given it's theirs to do whatever they want with, I know that. And I would be fine if she gave away PC that I give her that she doesn't want but I have a hard time with them being put in the garbage. Even with my discounts... | |

Posts: 15,082 Best Show: $1,779 Experience: 5 # of Shows: 450 My Mood: | Goodness gracious, if The Furry Guy heard that, he'd have a coronary, Beth! He's not a big Longaberger fan, but he knows they're valuable. We both hate waste. Like you said, passing something on to someone else isn't an issue. Throwing things like that away is just wasteful. |

Posts: 29 Best Show: Experience: # of Shows: | I am sure the baskets had very good prices on them. Earlier this year they opened what is called the Factory Store as a way to get rid of retired inventory. I have gotten some real good deals on baskets like one for $12.00 Right now it is online for consultants only but it is suppose to go public sometime real soon. If anyone wants information about access or ordering from it when the time comes, email me |

Posts: 2,995 Best Show: $2,424 Experience: 15 # of Shows: | thats what this was a mini version of the factory store. I think they even called it that. Protectors & liners were .99 to $5.00 the chilling insert for the beverage tote was $4 I use mine only for solo cups on my counter but bought a set anyway. the entertaining book was $5 candles and candle saucers were $3 -$5 |
