Loving the (Chef Mepoco) Cuteness!


Last week you all gave me so many wonderful ideas as to what to do with my demitasse cups that I have decided to feature another item  to see what you can come up with this week.
This was another item that I stumbled upon on eBay. I really should delete the eBay app from my iPad, because it beckons me constantly. I was looking for a set of cups and saucers, and ran across a set featuring this cute little chef. Obviously, because it was an auction and not a "buy it now" purchase, I missed out. But I did find this cute little creamer, and managed to get it for a very reasonable price. Isn’t he a darling?
You first saw him in my post about Devonshire Cream. Now I'm challenging you, once again, to give me ideas on what other ways to use this adorable creamer.
This guy is called Chef Mepoco, and he's made in Japan. Personally, I find him absolutely irresistible. So, this week for my "loving the cuteness" post, I introduce you to Chef Mepoco. Tell me what you think.

Rosemary for Christmas


Here’s a quick holiday decorating tip that will liven up your table, add a touch of festiveness to the buffet, and is perfectly usable when the holidays are over and you’re struggling to find a place to store everything.  Head to Lowe’s and get yourself a little rosemary plant that has been conically shaped to resemble a Christmas tree.  Pick up a package of bows from Michael’s that are now drastically reduced to such an extent that you’ll be paying under a dollar for a set of 12, grab some red berries from off of your wreath, out of your yard (or the neighbor’s yard under cover of darkness – unless, of course, you have a very vigilant Neighborhood Watch), and add a small string of LED lights.  You will have a lovely little living tree that smells wonderful, and its portability will brighten any dark corner in your house.  After the holidays, keep it in a very sunny spot and water it weekly.  With any luck you’ll have a wonderful herb plant to sink into your garden come spring where you will be rewarded again and again with fresh rosemary whenever you need it.  How cute is this?
