Little Lace Box

[MissKris17]

You can toss hot pasta with it for your sauce. Make a cold pasta salad. It's very good on toasted Italian bread with some chopped tomatoes, and fresh Parmesan cheese as a bruschetta too. And it's yummy on chicken. Hope that helps.

It's also good on salmon and you can use it instead of tomato sauce on pizza.

I got cream of peppers and eggplant. It looks yummy but seems a bit thick for a pasta sauce so I will try it on some crusty bread. I really loved this box. The dipping bowls are absolutely adorable. The only thing I'm not sure of is the jewelry dish. It kind of looks like a large seashell. Has anybody looked for the oils on the site? I couldn't find them.

The letter said that the full size bottles won't be available at The Ancient Olive until the end of April due to production issues (the letter explains), so I wouldn't think they will be in the LLB shop until then.

I'm enjoying this box and will try the pasta tomorrow. I got some kind of cream of eggplant and peppers sauce. I couldn't resist a small nibble, and I like it. I look forward to trying the olive oil and vinegar too, and the offer for a full-sized item came as a surprise. You definitely have to read the letters for LLB!

I love the cute little bowls. I'll definitely be using those for hummus, or for the olive oil/vinegar mix they suggested for dipping bread. 

The list pad is cute, and the dish soap smells great. I thought it was neat that they included soap for washing and a towel for drying. 

I didn't know what the ring dish was supposed to be until I read the tag. I would've liked the glazed version with the pattern on top, but mine's the same as in aweheck's photo.

Overall it was a nice box and I'm looking forward to June.

I mostly just wanted to see what flavors they would have available even if we couldn't order yet. They sound really good based on the list in the box but that is a large variety for them to carry in the shop.

I'm anxious to see our choices too. Yum!

Good call on the pizza, or a flat bread would be good too. Sharing recipe ideas is a favorite thing of mine to do, so I am really digging this conversation. This box is so much fun.

Mine is the same!! The one Liz got on MSA was so detailed - I was confused! Sorta defeats the purpose, eh?

Otherwise...LOVE this box! I can't get over all the great little things! =)

I wish I got a nice dish soap in a box EVERY month! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I do love this box and the curation. I like it more and more as I look and check out the contents. But unfortunetly that jewelry dish runs sort of big…I think it’s, 5 almost 6 inches ( this will in no way fit on a kitchen window ledge)you are So Right... It could work maybe as a soap dish.... Possibly in my bathroom.
I love the ideas coming out on the pesto sauces! My Daughter got the truffle sauce..... We have yet to try any food items that have truffle oil.... I'm making her invite me to dinner or swap with me... I got the black olive pate.

I love this box. It was such a pleasureable experience to open and explore its contents. It was definitely curated really well and clearly fits well with this month's theme. My favorite item would have to be the little dipping bowls, love the patterns. My least favorite item would have to be the jewelry bowl. When I first saw it, I thought it must've been defective.

I love this month's box. My box is the same as Liz's @ MSA. I love kitchen items and Italian food so this is perfect /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My favorite item is the dipping bowls closely followed by the oil and vinegar. I can't wait to see what selection will be available for us to pick. I love the dish soap scent. I know what I am cooking tomorrow night /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love how the tea towel and note pad matched. I hope we see more items designed by Brianna. Everything is great in the box. I already have the soap and the jewelry dish by the sink.

I'm very happy with my box. I think it fit the theme perfectly. It was a joy to open.

I love how LLB introduces me to new, smaller vendors.  I'm especially loving that 2 of them have come from Savannah!  I noticed after we received the Capital Bee Company honey that it is available in a coffee shop that I sometimes frequent after my Sunday morning runs.  Also, I've seen The Ancient Olive downtown before, but I've never been there. 

This was a great box.  I was hoping for a tea towel & I love the one we got, along with the list that matches it.  The pasta and Cream of Peppers & Eggplant will be used when I want to splurge.  I love the small bowls & they can also be used during food prep, to put fresh cut herbs or small amounts of food in, until needed when cooking.  I need more dish soap and really like the jewelry dish.  I'm trying to eat healthier and need to get away from creamy salad dressings, so I'm going to try the Lemon Basalmic Vinegar and Olive Oil to top my salads.  I think LLB hit it out of the ballpark and really included something for everyone.

Hooray LLB is back!  I love love love this box!  They nailed the theme and found some different yet pratical and useful things.  I cannot wait to make dinner this weekend!  Im also very excited for June's theme these girls have some great taste I can only imagine the fun things they will come up with /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Enjoy your goodies ladies, if anyone comes up with a tasty recipe using the sauces please post /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I thought about using it as a soap dish too but wonder how it would hold up since it isn't glazed. I always have water standing in my soap dishes.

I am so pleased with the box this month! The first thing I saw upon opening was the jewelry dish and I was delighted with the lace pattern.....but it seems as though some of them have the pattern on the bottom of the dish where you can't see it? 

I agree with what others have said about the curation being the best I've seen in a sub box and brought back so many warm memories of both of my grandmothers, even though they were both Dutch as opposed to Italian!

I do think I really enjoyed the experience of opening without seeing spoilers, wonder if I can convince myself to do this more often????mmmm, probably not /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My fave box from LLB so far!  I LOVE it!!!  So awesome and RIGHT up my ally.  Opening the box was a total surprise and I wasn't disappointed with anything in here.  Every single thing I will use and every single thing I LOVE.

I just go home to open my box and the pesto with truffles broke (looks like they opened the box at the post office). It leaked over everything. It smells good though lol. I emailed them with pics. I am hopeful I can get a replacement of the red pesto with truffles because it smells amazing. I think I'll be able to wash the towel.

And the noodles are smashed. I hate my post office.

 

[aweheck]

@fiesty1 so sorry the PO was so rough with your box !

So everyone...our surprise for May is the bottle of olive oil or balsamic vinegar that we get to choose? That's pretty awesome!

Went to the Padres Dodgers game after work so I'm just now opening my box!!!!

Edit cause I now have opened my box... LOVE this box. My favorite item are the cute little bowls! So excited to try the edible items. Love the tea towel. Can definitely use the note pad and dish soap.

Wish the lace pattern was on the inside of the soap dish, not the bottom. I'm trying to think of an alternative use for this so the bottom is on display. I do like that it looks like a sea shell, but wish the pattern was on the other side. It's not that way on the website, I can't help wondering if it's a mistake.

All in all, very happy with this box!!!!
