Hello! With summer almost over, let us toast to the good times with: a Hanley Mercantile Co. San Francisco pre-prohibition whiskey bottle; and for the non-alcoholic drinkers, an antique Scottish stoneware ginger beer bottle by Murray & Co., dated 1868-1897. For the pinkies up: an Arcopal swirl milk glass tea cup; and an English brass tea spoon with a woman on the handle. As you are sipping your tea, perhaps you check the mail for summer travel postcards using a brass letter (or napkin) holder with a beautiful butterfly scroll design. And as summer winds down, you smell the perennials in your Lenox Woodland porcelain vase. Happy looking!
