The glass bottles and jars on one of my kitchen windowsills.
I can't resist buying these beautiful glass things when I find them in the charity shops.
I've added an old photo of this windowsill, taken about this time last year, into the comments.

My friend and I went to this thrift store today and saw this Rolls sitting in the parking lot. Had to laugh...
Additional note after 7 comments: Maybe it's not a Rolls, it might be a kit car. I don't know my cars either gina2299. My friend just called it a Rolls, so that's what I thought it was.
An imposter?
Thinking of all things Trump brings me to a poem by Anna Akhmatova's girlfriend, Nikolai Gumilev, before (obviously, obviously, obviously BEFORE) he was stood up against that wall and shot. "The Lost Tram" gets anthologized much more..but this darkly funny little one...
THE FOUNDERS
Romulus and Remus went up a hill,
a wild and silent hill.
Said Romulus, "Here there'll be a city."
Said Remus, "A city like the sun."
Said Romulus, "We found our ancient honor
by grace of the stars."
Said Remus, "The past is dead.
Let it be forgotten. Consider the future."
Said Romulus, "Here we'll put the circus,
and here our house, open to everyone."
Said Remus, "But the tombs, the tombs
must be nearer the house."
I always get a kick out of what obviously was once somebody's beloved collection, donated to a thrift store.
So sad. Somebody out there is no longer enchanted by unicorns, I suppose.
