A LITTLE SUGAR...OR NOT

I don't like olives.  One of the new items here at Mirth is a gorgeous olive dish by Tina Frey, an oblong version of the delicate sugar bowl above.  But you don't have to put olives in it.  You could line it with tiny rosemary crackers, or roasted nuts, or tiny samplings of cheese.  The same thing goes for the sugar bowl--don't like sweet things?  Why you don't like sweet things is a conversation for another time, because I think you're missing out, but that's not the point.  The point is that you can put whatever you want in this bowl, and it will be beautiful.  The point is that one of the things I love about Mirth is the versatility of the objects in this lovely collection.  Sugar, herbs, olives, oil, a single boiled egg.  It's up to you.
