Yay! I love the gift guides! Holy crap I want that Apron
ReplyDeleteNice range of gifts! The lemon ricotta cake looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents are Lithuanian and as a child I used to make those ornaments out of white straws (the ones labeled "Finnish-style" above) with my grandmother! I had no idea they were made in Finland too. Traditionally, Lithuanian farmers have decorated their homes with wheat and rye straw ornaments for events ranging from the holidays to weddings. A few years ago my grandmother (who is getting up there in years) gave me all the straw ornaments she ever made. It was one of the best Christmas presents I've ever received.
You can make some really complex designs too:
