This is a window in my office. It looks out on the back field and up the road a bit. I get the afternoon sun streaming through here most days. I like its effect on these bottles, spreading defused colored light around the windowsill. I can't remember where I picked them up, but enjoy their company up here. I should tell you, ya, I enjoy collecting junk, odd bottles, small boxes, picture frames sans pictures. Often, Elenka's eyes will just roll, when I tell her I need this 'special' object. Now, as other members of my family look to be unloading everything and making their homes as stream-lined as possible, I'm collecting stuff. They're kissing goodbye to objects like pictures on the walls, knickknacks and other seemingly trivial pieces of the world, and I'm welcoming material(some say crap) with open arms. My age and my world say I should be downsizing... I seem to be upsizing! What gives?

Office Bottles

ReplyDeleteI don't know 'what gives,' but I'd have picked up those bottles, too.
ReplyDeletePlease stop by my house, since I do have a few artifacts that you may want.
ReplyDeleteYou are an honest-to-goodness collector. I say, go for it, esp. if it gives you pleasure. I have bottle like that in one of my kitchen windows which I filled with glass marbles. Love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing colored glass bottles in a window!
ReplyDeleteI like this decoration with bottles, the colors and different sizes.Charming!

You only live once so just make the most of whatever pleases you!
ReplyDeleteI like those! I'm not downsizing either. I love my stuff!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time getting rid of stuff - too many memories wrapped up in my things! Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteHehe! I know the feeling. I am also torn between getting rid of things and adding new ones. :)
ReplyDeleteNice light on that green bottle. If you have the room, upsize. What the heck?!
ReplyDeleteI can donate a truckload, if you like. My wife and I decided we will need a team of university archeologists to excavate our basement when it can be put off no further.
ReplyDeleteI like these bottles. I say enjoy life and if you want a bit more...just go for it!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how things like a glass bottle can evoke strong memories; far out of proportion to the value of the thing itself. Glorious light here!
