Rerminiscing liquor bottles

    While resting to get rid of this flu (practically gone now), I noticed  things I don't usually do, like how dusty my little cocktail cart was.   

 So having nothing better to do, I started dusting it and
reconnected with some liquor bottles I had acquired in the past.

This Danish decanter of the Little Mermaid  was bought at the Mall, but I can't remember where -possibly Liberty House, which closed in 2001-or what I had put in it.   Maybe someday I'll
give it a taste.
 

R was given this lovely
Chinese liquor jar
commemorating the Japanese
Emperor's visit to China in
1992.

One side was the Great Wall
and Mt. Fuji on the other.

Some words celebrating
the occasion.

There's the Bols bottle (still unopened)

we got in Delft, Holland when R drove us through that country to see our friends in Enkhuizen in the North.                                       And the Jasper Wedgewood bottle from a Hong Kong duty free shop, also

still unopened.

And here is Ohara Shosuke san, who because of his love of
morning baths and sake and sleeping late, lost his fortune,  and became famous in the folk song "Aizu Bandaisan" of Fukushima Prefecture.
My mother bought this cute sake bottle on one of her trips to Japan.   It was always there ever since I can remember.

Well, besides doing a bit of reminiscing, I did at least get to dust the cart.
