Mr. Manly Man cleaned out the garage the other day. Look at this stash he was hiding from me! Old jars!
He's been collecting these for years. Now this is father/daughter time, as he and our our eldest daughter spend hours upon hours searching for bottles. I had no idea their collection had gotten this large. I decided to clean up a few of them and put them on display. I love all the different shapes, sizes and colors. The different blues, green, amber and white milk glass. My favorite is the green one.
Somewhere, sometime Mr. Manly Man found this Vaseline bottle, label intact and it still has some Vaseline inside.
He also found a couple with their rubber stoppers.
My daughter’s favorites are these tiny little bottles. The small square one in front is the size of a dice and even has the dice markings.
I did have a hard time arranging these in the cabinet and finally got to the good enough point. I had to shuffle my granite ware to the bottom shelf which is no big deal I kind of like it all bunched together down there. Someday I'll get around to sharing my granite ware collection with you.
Ooooo love em. The blue bottles are my favs. I am your newest follower, hope you can pop on by my blog.

Wow- the one is very tiny. Makes me wonder what was in it. Like just a drop. You did a nice job of arranging. I like the one tipped on its side. Love the blue and green...and ones with old stoppers...and..and...too hard to choose a favorite. Love that it is father daughter time.
