Finally decided to not use the Glasses as originally planned. Instead i found some cute little dishes on eBay. Used the original netting i was going to use round the Glasses (But this daft bint cut too small) Added a Red Rose the same as used on Our Invitations. And a bit of Black Ribbon.

These are the bits i used.

The tule doesn't look too short. They look lovely.

BTW - are those dishes specifically made for the almonds or did you just happen to find a really neat dish that works?

The tulle was the right size for the Dishes. But totally too small for the original Glasses. And i never found anything smaller.

The dishes are made specially for Almond Favours. And were only about £4 ($8) for 50. :D

Sugared Almonds from Italy.

I counted them all out and had one left over.

Had to do the "Quality Control" bit.

So i ate it. :D

Was really nice. The best Almond i've ever tasted.
I knew i should have got Two boxes LOL.

Ha I just answered my own question. I googled it and this is what came up from wikipedia.

"Jordan almonds, also known as sugared almonds"

I read Jordan Almonds as being a different coating to others. As if they are a make of their own. I know mine came from Italy. And the box is in Italian.

I'll have to ask My Witness for a Translation. He's an Australian born to Italian Parents. He'll know what the box says. :D

The trick is You ask a good friend to fly in from Southern Ireland a day early to make them.
