    So excited about the little salt cellar! Have looked for one I liked for about a year now!! This is twice in a week you have made me love your blog! Caramel Apple Oatmeal Bars…need I say more :)

  31. Carol says

    I started last year going to World Market and picking up their mixes (love the peach ginger pancake mix and syrup) and coffee’s and make thank you baskets for the nephews and their wives and the hired man. Recently they told me it was their favorite gift and put in a pretty basket it makes a great presentation. Also, I can get my husband to go in there and pick out gifts. We also enjoy shopping Trader Joe’s and getting items we can’t get in our locations. Both stores are almost 100 miles away, so we make sure we get in there when in the city. Also, bags of nuts are great for cooks.

    Enjoy your holidays.
