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 ?
