Do It Yourself Hostess Gift


Last night we celebrated a friend's engagement. I did the flowers myself (see below) and wanted to match the restaurant's rustic setting. I decided to make the favors and bottled rosemary infused olive oil. It was so easy! Find the directions HERE. The bottles I found at a local hardware store and the raffia ribbon at PAPER SOURCE. It would be the perfect hostess gift!

  3. Lovely idea! I have made the infused oils and vinegars before, but the addition of the raffia made it so much prettier.
