[Voila] Coffee, Tea, Paper?


Seastar, and MOH, aging paper with a tea bath. 


Turns out tea is a little too light for what we wanted...


Plenty of leftover coffee grounds from my bar studies.


After baking in the oven at 200 degrees for about 2 minutes,
we had to wipe off the dusty coffee powder.


Nice!
Just one way of using the paper.

[Voila] Chocolat

I've been having some chocolate cravings...and saw that Safeway and Trader Joe's has delicious looking chocolates.  I wondered how it would add to a dessert table....

Safeways - Meringue Cookies
Trader Joe's Orange Sticks (also in Raspberry too)
Brookside Acai Chocolate Blueberry Balls

[Voila] Origami Name Cards by the Mister

Update: We decided to go with the crane since it held the name cards more securely than the horse and swan.  Ah, but how whimsical these animals look, especially the horse.
