In honor of Vintage Thingies Thursday, over at Colorado Lady (thanks, Suzanne!), I want to show you my collection of vintage French water bottles.
I collected these when I lived in France many years ago. The bottles are provided to cafes and bistros by companies that produce Pastis liqueur. Pastis is a cloudy, yellowish syrup that gets diluted in water and sipped as an aperitif. It tastes like licorice. Although it's meant to be drunk before a meal...Beware! 40% alcohol + empty stomach = Yikes! I tasted it once, it just about knocked me off my bistro chair. Love the bottles though. I found these at flea markets and brocantes ~ the French version of a junk shop.Here's the part where you come in. Would you like my Ricard bottle? The one up front and center here:
Oui?All you have to do is join the fabulous babes (& Will!) of 'One Gal's Trashy Pals' over there on my sidebar.
