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!!
