Entertaining Inspiration: Colorful Jar As Unique Water (Or Wine) Carafe
I have a water pitcher. It's ten thousand years old and made of raffia, which isn't a great combo.
I've been meaning to pick up a new one in preparation for summer (I like to use pitchers to serve my BBQ guests homemade sangria), but how much prettier - and more fun - is this idea?
The key is to look for a jar - whether vintage or brand-new - with interesting details that make it anything but ordinary; I love the contrast between the rustic wood-and-twine stopper on this jar and my delicate gold-rimmed water glasses.
Raspberry-Thyme Smash: Maybe The Most Delicious Cocktail Ever? (I’m Serious)
Let me introduce you to the cocktail (recipe via Bon Appetit) that my aunt served us at Passover dinner on Sunday, because it is ridiculous good.
