Hospitality!!

What a perfectly wonderful windy day to talk about hospitality!!! Brrrrrrr......it's beginning to feel a lot like Thanksgiving!!! Here's a fun tradition to begin at your home this season. Place a kernel of dried corn on each plate-pass a little bowl or basket around and as each person drops their kernel into it they must say at least one thing that they are thankful for!!Kids and adults alike love this tradition. As your guests leave give them each a hostess gift to remember.....


 GRUNGY CORN ON THE COB.......1.)Take a dried ear of corn-2.)dip or brush(with a toothbrush or small paint brush)in scented wax(you can use a wax tart from walmart or dollar store)3).then dust with cinnamon,cloves, coffee grounds(any type of spice you have handy)-4).tie a length of raffita or ribbon around the middle- 5.)attach a thankful saying or scripture.
This is a fun gift that the ladies can use over and over again in their decorating around this season!!Have fun:)

Happy Hospitality Day!!

~Give the gift of fudge~

Hope you all are having a wonderful October Thursday!! Enjoy it because we are soon going to be in lovely November. Today I have several things that I would like to let you know about. Thanksgiving and Christmas are nearing, and there are so many things pulling at your attention........a couple of which could be Christmas gifts and/or hostess gifts. This Thanksgiving when you go to that special someone's house for the holidays, leave a thank you gift........a half pound box of assorted fudge nicely gift wrapped, is an excellent way to convey your appreciation. Another great gift idea is a delicious smelling candle or wax tart.......I just refilled my stock so there is plenty to chose from. Weather you favor a delicate floral scent such as "Japenese Cherry Blossom" or wish to stay in keeping with the upcoming holidays like "Pumpkin Pie" or "Mulberry", there is this and more here at The Coffee Cottage. Make this one of your regular stops on the holidays.
 

This scent is called "Huckleberry" 

 Also I will be hosting an arts and crafts event in November. I will keep you updated on the exact dates and times!!! It's a great opportunity to pick up some fun, unique gifts for the holidays!!
Until next time have a very terrific day!!:)

Hospitality Thursday:)

Welcome once again to The Coffee Cottage!!!Fall just stimulates my hospitality creativity!!!! I really LOVE Fall.....(I do believe I have mentioned this before) Here are some fun tips I'd like to share with you......ready get set, let's go...................................................................
What a great idea for a center piece!!! To add a little more color ,fill the tray with dried rosehips rubbed with a scented fragrance oil. Not only a great decor piece but it also smells amazing!!!
When expecting guests, establish a theme. Be creative.......and use hollowed out gourds,pumpkins,etc.....for dishes or trays!!! Your guests will love it:)
Pumpkin Ice Cream Surprise: Buy a carton of pumpkin ice cream (usually out during this time of year at grocery stores) hollow out as many little pumpkins as you need (the pulp can be frozen and used for pies or shakes later),sprinkle the inside of each with cinnamon and cloves then fill with ice cream, drizzle with caramel and cinnamon......and enjoy!!
