The CARE Thrift ‘n Gift shop had an item I could not resist. Even for a “thrift shop” the price was high but “I could not resist.”

Postscript, same day, 2:00 PM: An exciting thing just happened to me!! A lady I had never met (although she is a long-time Escapees Rainbow’s End resident) brought me ten beautiful bottles!! Recently, I advertised on our Park email my desire for pretty bottles.

Postscript, same day, 3:30 PM: These are “too pretty” to turn upside down on a spike (imho). They have a beautiful picture inside the bottle!! From my vast supply of “I might need it someday,” I found corks for the bottles.
