Flower Pot Servers

• Use brand new terra-cotta pots and saucers.

• Wipe with a damp cloth before filling.

• Line flowerpots with a colorful paper napkin or kitchen towel.

• Fill with things like breadsticks (figure A), crudites, pretzels, etc.

• They are also great for holding silverware.

• For saucers--line with napkins or nontoxic leaves, and arrange cheeses or spreads on top (figure B).

• The saucers can be used as a serving tray.

• Smaller saucers also make great little coasters.
