Simmer Pot Jars

Merry Christmas Eve!  

I come to you with a last minute gift idea.  Not an original one at all, but one that I'd never thought of until I saw it gifted to a friend!  

Simmer pot ingredients!!!!  The perfect neighbor or hostess gift!!!  

These can be put together quickly and are relatively inexpensive.  And I can't believe I'd never thought of making these before now!

SIMMER POT JARS

Ingredients:  bag of oranges, cinnamon sticks, fresh rosemary, whole cloves, cranberries             

Other:  ribbon, jar (mine are from Dollar Tree), instruction tag (I used this one.)

Directions:  Fill bottom of jar with cranberries.  Take one orange and push cloves into it forming rings around the orange.  Place orange in the jar.  Add rosemary sprigs and cinnamon sticks on the side.  Sprinkle a few more whole cloves in, along with a few more cranberries.  Put the lid on and tie a ribbon around the edge.  Add the instruction tag on top. 

 

 

Then sneak over to your neighbor's porch and drop one off!  They'll have it for Christmas Day simmering!  Quick, simple, and cute!  Also, fun to put together!  

And hopefully you'll have leftover ingredients to simmer yourself!

Hello Again...

With winter looming......and pandemics raging......I think I may revive this little space.  Same This Vintage Grove as before.  Still obsessed with vintage and thrifting.  Still fixing up my 1921 Craftsman Bungalow.  Still decorating with secondhand.  Still curating antique booths.

Hoping to fill a small corner of the internet with cozy, collected home decor.  Starting with a sneak peek of my bedroom.  Dark, moody walls with wicker, velvet, and brown accents!  All vintage furniture.  And a Cafe Du Chateau French Press....

  

I'm officially a French Press convert now.  Why was I scared of this gadget for so long?  It definitely is much more my vibe, and makes for a cuter coffee station!  Snag one of your own for 20% off with my code thisvintagegrove!!!  Click HERE to make one yours or to get a head start on a Christmas gift!

Let me know if you snag one! 

And let me know if I should revive this ole space.  I loved this blogging hobby years ago, and with the world erupting, it might be a nice diversion from the everyday.
