Blue Bottles
Did everyone who was celebrating have a merry holiday? Did all your Christmas wishes come true? Mine did. My most favorite gift of all was a card from DH, inscribed with, "I love you; I want you; I need you." That's all I needed.
Yesterday - well actually, about 11:30 Christmas night - I began my annual, end of year cleaning and purging. I was trying to go to bed Friday night, when I was suddenly overcome with an urge to scrub the kitchen. I finished that particular scrub yesterday. In doing so I encountered the top shelf of my pantry with this pretty bottle collection and had to take a picture of it.
I used to keep my bottles on a window sill so the sun could shine through. I no longer have a window sill large enough to hold them. I am inspired by this photo over at Apartment Therapy. I want to make something similar to hang in front of my mudroom window. That would be a good new year's project, wouldn't it?

Bobbi, are you missing something to feel compelled to scrub your kitchen at 11:30 at night, on Christmas? Talk to me!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, my mom has a blue bottle collection too. She puts them upside down on sticks by her back patio.
