It feels so good to support good peeps and we have a lot of power with our shopping dollar. There are amazing crafts people out there making wonderful things and I love how giving a gift is an opportunity to feel doublelly good. Happy holidays to you!<br /><br />Emma, I can just imagine you with your dad's cutting boards.... I bet they instill a little magic in your cooking. Twin Peaks? I love it:) And you of all people would totally dig the Doug Fir tea! The Juniper Ridge folks make beautiful natural products - check them out. Though I am wondering if you can simple harvest and dry the needles and make your own brew. Hmmmmm.

Delicious, and easy on depleted wallet:)<br /><br />I love those Weck jars more every time I see them. I'm also incredibly curious about the douglas-fir tea, it sounds very interesting. We're re-watching Twin Peaks right now so I feel a need to boldly and gloriously complement doug-fir trees. Ho-hum:)<br /><br />Everything is beautiful here. I feel fortunate to have a few cutting boards made by my father in my kitchen. It's comforting to have his work surrounding me every day, even if he's spatially far away !Emmahttp://ofagatesandmadeleines.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205639805681286189.post-11547830173993393242011-12-04T13:47:32.746-08:002011-12-04T13:47:32.746-08:00Love all the ideas.

I put pommogranite seeds and mint leaves inside, filled with water and froze. Will use for a special martini for my party tonight. Thought it was a cool idea and the possibilities are endless with what you can put inside. Here is the website I found them at: www.prepara.com and look for "ice balls".
