Have I mentioned before that I love all things French? Well if I haven't, I am telling you now! I am a Francophile, albeit an accidental Francophile, but I am one nonetheless. I say accidental because I was never one to be interested in French décor or even in going to France but for the last four years Mr. H and I have been going to Europe and last year we thought we'd give France a whirl. After all, we did love French wine! Well, I fell in love. I became a Francophile. It just happened and why it's just this country, I have no idea. I've been to probably 20 other countries and have loved them all, but never turned into a "phile" of any of those other countries!
Anyway, a few months ago, Mr. H and I were dining at a restaurant here
in Denver and they served the water in a French lemonade bottle. Being the French lover that I am, I was so excited about it, took a picture and thought, "Too bad it's too big to stuff in my purse!" (Not that I'm prone to stealing, but you know what I mean.)
Well, imagine my excitement when I was shopping at TJ Maxx/HomeGoods a few weeks ago and saw this
display of beverages! I thought it was too good to be true! Do you
see
it? A bottle of the French sparkling lemonade right there on the
shelf! I dug through the bottles and found three of the ones I wanted.
As you can see, I put them to very good use! I LOVE my new "vases", and the best thing about them is that they're French!
As an added bonus, I got to enjoy the yummy sparkling lemonade as well!
