Biscotti Anyone?
Biscotti are a kind of crunchy, rectangular Italian cookie.
They come in all flavors. My husband likes just plain as well as almond. I think lemon and chocolate are yummy.
We both enjoy dipping them in coffee.
Last weekend I went to a wonderful annual indoor tag (yard) sale at the Community Center in Great Barrington, MA.
This was the second year in a row this sale called to me. There were lots of tables, arranged according to price, like the $3 table, $2 table and so on.
My eyes scanned the merchandise with radar alert.
A brightly colored container immediately caught my attention. It was a biscotti holder!
At first, I thought it might have been made in Italy as the colors were vibrant and cheerful. Wrong. It was made in China.
That would be perfect for biscotti, I said to myself.
What table was I at? The $1.00 table?
You've got to be kidding, I thought. There was a tiny nick at the base of the container and yes, it cost $1.00.
Sold! It now brightens up a corner of the kitchen counter. I'm so glad I went to that sale.

DO YOU LIKE BRIGHTLY COLORED CHINA OR DO YOU PREFER SOMETHING LESS BUSY, LIKE PASTEL ?

Oh my friend, I have to say that I like brights more. I think it is my heritage - Greek and Spanish. I love to look at pastels, but my heart goes with bright colors. I have splashes of red in my kitchen. I love this vase, and it is perfect for goodies. I've never tried biscotti before, but have always wanted to. What a delightful post today.

I don't often have biscotti but the jars are always so colorful! I would have bought this in a minute for $1...great find! Hugs, Linda
I am a true bright color person - my heritage if Polish and English.
That's a beautiful container. I prefer brightly coloured pieces; mostly I like them in cobalt blue but I have also bought multicoloured (with blue). See a pattern? lol. Hope you're having a lovely day.
I have found myself drawn to the same type of colors in the jar you got. This is a recent desire of mine.
I used to make biscotti for my babies to teethe on. Perhaps it's time to make some more.
You got a real bargain and colorful too! I have never eaten biscotti...it just looks too hard!
I love the colors of this cookie jar :-)
I would have bought that myself. I don't really like biscotti, but my husband loves it. I love COLORS!
love, sandie
