A Beautiful Decanter
Good Morning!
No work on Monday! I love having these 3-day weekends. I plan on going to Cincinnati tomorrow. I want to do a little bit of shopping, not too much. I think I shared that they had the best outlet mall. I just want to take a day trip, have dinner, and then return home. For Sunday, I just plan on hanging out at home. I may get caught up on my house chores. Then on Monday I just want to get caught up on some blog posts, get some inspiration, and then sit and watch a movie or two. Maybe ride my bike, or sit on the porch, there could be a lot of things that we can do. Just having the extra day is a wonderful thing.
This is going to be a very short blog post today, but I wanted to share a recent find and new “elegant idea”.

I was looking at my garden tub and noticed that I did not like the plastic bottle that my bubble bath liquid was in. I stared at it for a few minutes and a crystal decanter popped in my mind. I can’t explain it but that’s what happened. So, I made a mental note to look for one when I decided to go antique shopping.
I found this one. It’s pretty heavy and absolutely exquisite! I paid about $50 which was too much but it’s a very substantial decanter. Now I have had it for about a week and I have no regrets. I would encourage you to change up your items. If you use bubble bath, then why not put it in a beautiful decanter. I found some pretty reasonable ones on Amazon. See here, here, and here, if you are interested.
Let me know what your long weekend plans are and if you already use decanters! Have a great weekend!

Hello Mrs. Shockley,
Sounds like a really nice weekend you have planned out. I agree- it’s a treat to have some extra time on our hands to just be, whatever they may look like. I have taken the time to go through my Fall Victoria Magazines. So much beauty and I read them through the Fall season.I also rewatched your magazine flip thru and Jennifer L. Scott’s. Can’t explain but I love those! Feels like I’m reading with a friend. Sadly, no one on my small circle reads them. I hope you and JLS do more in the future.
My mom has a beautiful collection of decanters. She is slowly passing things down to me. I could see using one for mouthwash too. Such a great idea Mrs. Shockley. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mya!
That’s a great idea! Another flip-through. I’ll have to pull another vintage copy and film that. That sounds like fun! I also love the idea of using the decanter as mouthwash. I would have to find a smaller one for that but that sounds wonderful!
