    Special thanks to the sun for shining through my little windows. It actually looked better in person but cameras capture what they capture especially digital cameras.
    The insulators seen are mostly 100 plus years old which makes them official antiques which pretty much means nothing. We should have a discussion about what makes something an antique sometime. The official definition is that the item is 100 year or beyond mark but the term is used loosely.
    The bottles are less old but the blue bottles are quite colorful. Causes a blue glow in the room.

      Christmas Spectacular came to mind! That is a real show of color and light right there. Gorgeous insulator colors, make me emerald and moss green with envy! LOL

      They all look really awesome with the sunlight shining thru them. I especially love the blue bottles. Very nice!!

      Really, really beautiful! Yes, thank you to the sun! ;) I agree that the term "antique" is used quite loosely. It bothers me!

      Looks wonderful -- the colors and the sun. Gee, at Xmas time you could just lay a small string of 12 clear lights there -- then put a insulator over bulb to light them up at Xmas. Love the colors!!
