There is a contest here, to show your collections so here is mine. I have collect glass bottles since I was a teen. I found most in the junk pile out by my friends house or garage sales. They have been hauled all over with me since. Every once in a while BDiddy tries to get me to get rid of them but I love them. He is not the antique lover. 
The little blue one was given to me by my grandma so I can't get rid of that one for sure.
Three of these above were found out in the woods, I'm not sure how old they are but maybe from the 50's?
This little blue one was on my great grandma's shelf, I am named for her. I got it when she died its the only thing of hers I have. It makes me think of her and how pleased she was every time we saw her. She would say my name with her thick Finnish accent with such a happy tone and hug me tight. I wish I knew more about her. She came from Finland at age 16. I can't even imagine what that was like. I will have to ask my mom what she knows. I will be bringing my Azure sock and the Asymmetrical Cardigan to work on in the car. The ride is about 4-5 hours so I should have plenty of time to knit. Have a good weekend!

I love the bottles. I have my great-grandmother's salt and pepper shakers, and I use them every day.
