This sauce is the perfect accompagnement with roast meat, especially lamb. It is a great way to use up all that mint growing like crazy in your garden. I like to add a stylish lable and cute lid, that way I can give away these jars as gifts.

Christmas table magic 2

Get creative with paper this year when decorating your Christmas table. Did you know gift wrapping paper can make a great table runner?

 

 

 

Or try some origami instead. This simple Christmas tree is such fun to make. I made it from pages from a Christmas magazine, making them very affordable. You find the instructions here.

Christmas table magic 1

This year I would like to inspire everyone for Christmas with some table setting ideas. My first tip is to get your vintage china out of the cupboard. I used to love my grandmother’s teacups, that’s why I made sure I inherited a fair share of them!

 

If you have fine china cups, they are perfect for your candles. To add some height to your table, use a cake stand. You can place a serving dish with a tasty side dish on top for a festive treat.
