Coca Cola Can Glass Candle Holder Cup: The Destiny of Things, Story 222

I used to collect Coca Cola memorabilia.

It's a mystery to as to why I do, but I think I'm over it now. These are some of the last few from my collecting. I suppose Coca Cola was a treat for most children of the baby boomer era and I was no exception, but we were only allowed to drink it on special occasions or an "out of the blue" treat.

Now a days I avoid high fructose corn syrup, but every once in awhile on a hot sunny day "out of the blue" I will have a bottled Coca Cola from Mexico made with cane sugar. It's not organic and probably not good for my allergies, but at least Mexico doesn't allow GMO or maybe that's changed too.

Here is the note I received about the order:

SO HAPPY!!!! I purchased these for a friend's birthday. Received them today, just in time for her birthday (tomorrow.) I am very pleased with these glass candle holders! They are in prefect condition! Excited about shopping again with this shop!

And I am so happy that these made at least two people happy and just in time for a special birthday!

Saying Goodbye: I think these would look great when I have a Minimalist home and I just love these because they remind me of Pop Art Coca Cola cans that are very versatile because they can be used as candle holders, vases or beverage cups, but I just have too much stuff and will be thankful when they all have found good homes!

What I Learned:

1. As a recovering hoarder, I certainly used to buy random items without much thought except because I liked them for my collection. It's only when I get home and start to think about how they will fit in or where to display or store them, so I see where some of my hoarding habits begin and end.

For instance, how many candle holders, vases and drinking glasses do I need? I certainly have an abundance of of all three and continue to only use my several few favorites.

2. I just love green glass! especially green beach glass.
