Sweet Treats. Love the uted decorative style on the lids of those vintage glass decanters? We do too… which is why we used the stoppers to imprint starry shapes on these sugar cookies.We suggest you pop a few decorative glass platefuls about the living room—they will add to the festive look of the space as well as being perfect for impromptu guests or anytime snacking.And if you’re looking for the perfect recipe for simple, buttery biscuits, we heartily recommend Nigella Lawson’s easy (and delicious) Butter Cut-Out Cookies. Originally published in her iconic book How to be a Domestic Goddess (Chatto & Windus), the recipe is also available on her website, nigella.com. Tray Chic. To make each place setting unique, delineate them using an old silver tray topped with a charger plate, salt cellar, glassware and linen napkin for each diner.Thrift stores and ea markets are good sources for vintage glass vases and lampshades, as are online vintage retailers such as eBay and Etsy. Always pick up broken light ttings when you can, as you never know which “good” piece of glass you may need to complete an upcycled element, and retro glass lampshades are easy to nd and inexpensive when bought in pieces. Once you get them home, clean the glass thoroughly but carefully using hot water and window cleaner.
