Much like many of my other collections, I never set out to collect Thermos Bottles. I really, honestly did not. I swear. Although, a person that collects vintage tablecloths and picnic baskets might as well collect Thermoses too. I could go on one heck of a stylin' picnic!
It all started when I went to a Fundraiser Sale at my old High School a few summers ago and found all these Thermoses on a table for a total of $2.00. They were just so charming all together that I had to scoop them up. I think if I wouldn't have found a whole lot of them at once, that I never would have given them a second look or started looking for them at other sales.
But, I did find them all together and I did start looking for more.
And, I found more! (The little teeny one on the far right is actually an Avon Bottle. I forgot that I had that one when I said earlier that a Benjamin Franklin Avon Bottle was the only Avon Bottle I've ever allowed in the house.) I have Thermoses more that I didn't put in the photo because they are odd colors. These all sort of flow, don't you think?
Although, the red ones do look best all together.
I often wonder what my neighbors think of me, outside taking pictures of odd items.
I don't really care what they think, anyway.
It won't stop me from lining up odd things and taking odd photos.
*I looked up the plural form of Thermos and it says Thermoses.
But, it just looks weird.
oh dear! I might just have a lunchbox for every one of them! haha Like you I didn't set out to collect them, but I found my grandpas and then people thought "oh he collects them: and just started sending them to me haha!
ReplyDeleteSometimes when you see things grouped together like that you just get SUCKED into a collection..things look so much better in a group. I think we have all been sucked in...to one collection or another (or multiple collections).
ReplyDeleteI think they are cool! I must admit though that as I look at the pictures, I am singing the song from the movie The Jerk "I'm Picking Out a Thermos For You" LOL
ReplyDeleteLove it!
You've got a great collection! I have a fondness for them, because my Dad always took one to work, and he always drank from one while driving across the country on our vacations. I have three or four, but I've passed alot up because I just don't have a cool place to display them!
ReplyDeleteMy honey has several of thermoses! Love your collection of red and yes with all the picnic baskets this is a natural!
ReplyDeleteAnother neat collection - love 'em!!
ReplyDeleteYour rows of Thermoses (you're right--it looks strange) is about the cutest thing I've seen today!
