Our beloved
babysitter noticed how much I like wine (busted), and gave me three
lady bottle stoppers for my last birthday. They make me smile every time I walk through our kitchen. Bottle stoppers look lovely on the table when you entertain guests, make nice gifts when going to a dinner party, and are also just sweet to have on the kitchen counter, chilling in a half-bottle of red.
Nine favorites, clockwise, above:
Fish,
anchor,
piggie,
lady,
flower,
bird. (And this thirsty
bird is so cute, too!)

P.S. More
round-ups, plus
Toby's beer cravings and a
staring contest...
