Hi George,

So this was probably made like yesterday. Still it's very beautiful and I could bury it in my backyard with instructions for my son to dig it up in 50 years. Haha! That is, if there aren't already 10,000 of them made.

I think I'm trying very hard to be a collector of bottles that I can enjoy, but that will at least retain it's value, if not increase, and at the moment am too caught up in the "oh that's so pretty" stage where I am making bad decisions.

I am not buying any more bottles at the moment. In the short weeks since I started collecting, I think I have close to a hundred bottles so it's time to step back, re access, and read some more!
