At first glance, the box was full of dirty old bottles. However, the color blue caught my eye. I have several old blue bottles that I bought at an auction years ago and I love how they look on the windowsill. So, when the man running the barn sale said "You can have the box for five dollars", how could I resist? A few minutes at the sink and the purchase was well worth the price I paid.

It looked like a box that I didn't really need. |

I love Dr. Bronners Magic Soap for washing everything! You can even brush your teeth with it. All certified organic, check the website for a store near you. It's well worth it in my opinion. |

The bottles before rinsing. The beautiful blue is now apparent. |

They need to be rinsed thoroughly and dried. |

You may recognize some of the logos on the bottom of the bottles. |

I was lucky, the bottles are all different sizes and shapes. Note the lighter blue color on the left-hand side. Gorgeous. |

It just happens to be the time when violets, lily of the valley and forget-me-nots are in bloom! |

White violets are extra special. Tiny flowers created for tiny bottles. |

It began to rain outside when I was taking the photos. Perfect. |
