The Little Things..

I had no intention of parting with any cash when I breezed into a local charity shop yesterday afternoon, I was 'just looking' :)  ... and I find that its when I'm 'just looking' I stumble upon my greatest finds!  This little glass bottles were tucked away in a corner, with a price tag of £3.00 for the lot.  Well, I knew immediately what I was going to use them for, so I rushed them to the til and sped home triumphant!

and then, just as I had finished cleaning them with a toothbrush and soapy water, a lovely friend arrived bringing me sweet flowers.... isn't it great when your friends know just what you love.

So today I have taken the greatest pleasure in spreading the little bottles of  hope around the house, hope that Spring might be just around the corner!

Some of them are measuring bottles, can you see the word 'teaspoons' down the side of this one?

some are ridged

and some of them I think were ink bottles

I just love them. 

And for the puppy update.... 

All the pups are growing and pups and Mum are doing well.  Hopefully they will open their eyes in the next couple of days.. more photos to come before the end of the week! x

The daffodils are delightful! I think you're right. Your Spring must be on the way. Here in the Southern Hemisphere Autumn is knocking on the door.

I have a collection of little glass bottles also. Now all I need is a sweet friend to drop by with flowers.

What a great bargain! I love those bottles, and they look so pretty with the single blooms in them.

Ohh, "daffodils" ! Ca "sent" le printemps !
I like the bottles very much. They are quite original. I love English charity shops, we have shops like that in France (they are not call "charity shops") but the prices are often high.
When we spend holidays in Great Britain I often buy things in CS (crockery and lot of books ...)
Bonne continuation à Florance et les bébés (sans oublier le papa :-))

What an excellent find - the flowers look beautiful in them. Let's hope spring will not be too long in arriving - it feels like this winter has lasted for years.
