Cindy put together a huge gaily-colored gift containing every single ingredient needed to make a Baileys Banana Split.
Along with a copy of the recipe, I found carefully tucked inside a perfect piece of crystal stemware from Cindy’s personal collection in which to create the concoction. Talk about style! Enjoying the dessert in such a beautiful way makes the experience extraordinary.
Here’s the story behind her crystal she shared with me (and gave me permission to share with you):
My uncle (my mother's brother) was very proud of his Czech heritage. When I became engaged he sent me a set of china and crystal glasses all made in Czechoslovakia. This meant a lot to me and is something I have kept close to my heart. I will always remember him every time I use the china and glasses. I hope this glass will bring to mind all the fun we had together and a friendship that will never end.
Any present given from the heart is a creative treasure. As such, it has immeasurable value—and so does the exquisite gift of friendship.
