milk bottles


I love milk bottles. Glass milk bottles should be mandatory. Screw those plastic jugs and give me glass. I do not care if it is practical, it is surely green! But environment and practical apart, just look how beautiful they are. I grew up in Britain and milkmen were a part of life. Every morning at around 5am, you would hear the clinking of his electric cart rattling along delivering fresh dairy goodness to all who desired! Milk, eggs, cream and even orange juice would be delivered to your doorstep. You would wash out the bottles and pit them on the doorstep and he would replace them with fresh new bottles filled with fresh dairy milk - nothing more, nothing less. I remember my mother writing notes to the milkman if she needed extra milk or eggs or whatever. She would roll up the note and put it into one of the bottles - it was the greatest system. I rattled on way longer than I meant to so forgive me.

I saw these bottles at Farmhouse Wares and i need them
