A few nights ago I was invited for a little dinner party and instead of going with a regular wine-bottle wrapped in a tea-towel type of hostess gift, I used Šárka's advice and made a jar of oven dried cherry tomatoes instead. I packed them in an Ikea jar and attached a little note with a string. I was super nervous about it as not everyone likes dried tomatoes but Kara loved it - ufff. Lovelies, what are your favourite hostess or housewarming gifts? xo
P.S: If you fancy making some of those yummy dried tomatoes. Here is the full recipe.
P.P.S: You can use them for this scrumptious BL(slow roasted)T sandwich.

Oh those look scrumptious and oh so pretty! :)
in a jar? oh yes!!!
WOW! amazing!
Such a great gift! I have some leftover cherry tomatoes- maybe I'll be making some tonight.
I usually bring a baked good. During the winter it's a box of Italian bread.
These look wonderful! I'm going to have to try this out myself. yum!

That's a great idea! I do roast cherry tomatoes for use in whatever meal I happen to be whipping up but it's never occurred to me to make a whole jar full while I'm at it, or to present it as a hostess gift!

As synesthesia painter, I see colors for names, I sometimes paint the name of the host as greeting card. But I like your idea!
what a great idea! you could bring so many things in a jar... the possibilities are endless!!
Artist, that sounds wonderful:)
