Repurposed Finds

 
At the flea market last summer I came across a dozen or so of these vintage rattan drink holders. I loved their texture and muted bits of color woven throughout. But since then it's been fruitless trying to find glasses to fit inside so I thought..why not repurpose them and use them to hold crudite or appetizers?

And of course, this lead me to think about other small containers that would be just as charming and unique. Like berry crates in wood or colored cardboard.

 
They make the perfect size for guests to hold while nibbling and look pretty all lined up on a buffet. To keep them food safe I just line them with natural parchment paper which also makes it convenient for cleanup and reusing later.

This summer I plan on serving up mini desserts of fruit and cookies for my guests. Or I could use them for little bites of cake or pie. Or…I could fill them with eggs for my neighbors. Why, the possibilities are endless!
