Day Three. Chillin' with charm.

Still on the thrifted serving piece kick from yesterday. (Well, you know I am all about presentation.)

So, yeah.

Water.

It should be charming too.(Why not?)

Anyway, I think so.

And, I think friends and family feel special when they come over and I have my apothecary topped bottle of chilled H2O (with a couple slices of lemon and a strawberry wedge for flavor) on the table to refresh us as needed.

I found mine at the GoodWill about a year ago, but I see them there often. Another great water (or juice, or whatever beverage you enjoy) server is to use a carafe, which is another readily available thrift store item. (Remember these from the last baby shower I shared?)
Usually a buck is all it takes to make one of these babies your own, so we should all be enjoying the fabulousness of pretty chilled drink containers.

Trust me, your friends will smile (and so will you!) when you serve your water this way.

I may be alone on this one, but I even smile when I look at it in the fridge.

It's these little attention to details that you do that I love! I sold my carafes a couple years ago in my garage sale...now I wish I had them back. Your ideas make even the littlest of events special, thanks for sharing. Jeni

Oh, Tracey...you are not alone on this :) I find joy in making every day a special day...even if it is just for me. Its so nice to keep the ordinary, ho-hum things like drinking water and packs of sweetener...even daily medications and such, displayed or tucked out of sight in some little thrifted "treasure box". Friends always seem delighted when they discover a new way that I have used these "fabulous finds" around my cozy cottage...and I owe A LOT of the inspirations to you :)
