I have a big glass cookie jar I was given for xmas one year by MIL. It’s not very convenient for cookies, but right now it looks gorgeous – I have three punnets of strawberries, washed and hulled, along with a split vanilla bean in there, and I covered the lot with vodka. The lid is airtight, and those strawberries are stewing for NYE, when I plan to throw them in the blender (with the vodka) and serve as a refreshing summery drink, perfect for that hot, long night (Southern Hemisphere). The vodka is slowly leeching the colour from the strawberries, turning it a lovely red, with pale pink hearts floating inside. It looks great, and it reminds me everytime I see it of how rewarding it is to give. (I’m making this drink for my friends NYE party)

THis is fabulous. I just got engaged and we are thinking about doing our centerpieces with lemons and limes in big vases / hurricane glasses.

I know if I put out a bowl of m&m's I would eat the whole thing in about two days. I think I'll need to set out some dried fruit and nuts instead. Rachel@SmallNotebooks last blog post..SmallNotebook is Moving!

@sevenjobs – What a beautiful example of your children to put others before themselves. I love it.

We like to train our children to accept that first the wishes of our guests has to be fulfilled and then our own wishes.
That is why each child has its own box of sweets in its room which is only allowed to be opened for guests. It is unbelievable but they accept this rule and they do not eat their sweets without guests.
Thank you for your great ideas, which help me to think again about our home and our rules.
