Love the farewell to summer ideas. Where do I find the small pots and who is the manufacturer?
Thank you!
Thank you Diane – I found them in Paris, and carried dozens of them back with me in my carry on bags – ugggh!
Of course, when back in Chicago, I see them everywhere…ay yi yi.
I thought I had seen some at Target, but now cannot find online.
You could certainly use any of these: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=staub+mini&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=2860605565&ref=pd_sl_7rpqnqlqw8_b
Thank you so much, and happy holidays.
Debi
