sarah and i teamed up for christmas this year and made gift bags for our families. though each was a little different, the basic idea was as follows: a jar of cranberry jam, a jar of pear chutney, a sample of maldon's smoked sea salt (the brown bottle) and a small plum wood cutting board (made from urban salvage lumber and a bit of corn and citrus oil). variations included a bit of honeycomb from the hives on the roof at bluebottle, a bag of coffee, a nice tall beer, and a few other odds and ends. my mama's bag came with a couple knit dishcloths:
she got the two basketweaves on the left. i gave the other two to sarah.
we wrapped them up in scraps of muslin, tied with a bit of rosemary, and a note in sarah's french cursive. a pretty pretty little gift if i do say so myself.
feliz navidad, y'all.
