Blue Bottles

bottle collection

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?

  1. Bobbi, are you missing something to feel compelled to scrub your kitchen at 11:30 at night, on Christmas? Talk to me!

    Seriously though, my mom has a blue bottle collection too. She puts them upside down on sticks by her back patio.
