November Holiday Show Schedule & French Butter Dish


Pictures show my new French Butter Dish.  The butter is packed into the lid, then the bottom container holds salted water.  Butter will be upside-down and placed into the water as the lid is closed.  The water creates a seal to keep the air away from the butter, and you are able to keep your butter at room temperature, soft and spreadable.  There are a few tricks when using these things, such as softening the butter at room temperature before packing it in, and changing the water at least once a week.  I had had a few requests from customers in the past, and finally I was able to come up with the shape and design I like :-)  They will be available for purchase at upcoming holiday shows, as well as on my Etsy shop at :
