Gifts - Roasted Rosemary Cashews



Did you get those adorable tags from Tuesday's post?  Well I told you I was going to use them, and here's how!


           

This year, I made Roasted Rosemary Cashews, following this easy recipe from Ina Garten.  I packaged them in these great tie top bags, very similiar to bags that coffee comes in.  I LOVE these bags and have used them for all sorts of favors and goodies.  If you're in the Seattle area, you can get them at Packagaing Specialties.   You can also order them online at Garnish, one of my favorite sites for fabulous packaging products.

Finish off the bags with brown ribbon and a sprig of rosemary

I hope our dear preschool teachers will enjoy these!



Lastly, a quick plug for brown ribbon and rosemary trees!  I highly recommend both as you get great bang for your buck.  Brown ribbon goes with EVERYTHING... it always comes in handy when I'm looking to put something together last minute.  Rosemary trees are everywhere this time of year.  You should be able to find them at your grocery store or hardware store.  I've had mine in our planters by our front door for 3 years and they've been able to survive through the winters.  They smell great and are so useful!

Enjoy!

Thanks for the inspiration, Cat! I printed out the green tags, found some clear gift bags, now have Cinnamon-Vanilla Candied Walnuts in the oven. Off to cut some pine branches to tie on the bags for neighbors. So fun!
