I just remember it being around my entire life, I was born in 1955. My dad was a career Marine & it moved all over the country with us. I'm so excited to find out where it probably came from!<br />Debbie R.<br />Greensboro,NCDebbie Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060321964622949444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009920063902513106.post-78071807162800352322013-08-29T07:49:06.800-07:002013-08-29T07:49:06.800-07:00I was searching for a green replacement violin bot...I was searching for a green replacement violin bottle for one that I broke and saw your blog. I am a violin bottle collector of sorts also. What drew me to read more (...in addition to the fact you are a cat lover; I have 3!)was you stated you were inspired to collect because of 2 green bottles your mother had. When I was a child (also in the 1950's)my mom had a cobalt blue earbot in which she grew ivy. The story was that my dad won it for her at a carnival sometime in the 1940's. She kept it in the kitchen window above her sink. At some point, after I grew up and moved away, she gave it to a friend. When I returned home for a visit and discovered it was gone, I was so disappointed. She passed in 1989. In 1996, on the day of her birthday, I was browsing an antique store. I first found a mail holder with her name stenciled on it. (She had an unusual first name, and I had never even heard of anyone with the same name.) Then I came upon an identical earbot. Thus, my obsession was born. I have about 15now, but I have purchased many more and given them as gifts. Hope you enjoy my story. It's nice to know I have a kindred spirit somewhere out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009920063902513106.post-82844048391140844482010-01-24T20:47:36.123-08:002010-01-24T20:47:36.123-08:00I have never seen the glass violins either...so ch...I have never seen the glass violins either...so charming!

I use to see these a lot in those stores, for some reason. I really love colored glass bottles that have a shape. Thanks for becoming a follower on my blog! I am going to do the same with yours! I really enjoyed stopping by!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956372943613435575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009920063902513106.post-57675170064955397852010-01-21T00:12:12.090-08:002010-01-21T00:12:12.090-08:00where've I been all my life?
