Last spring I had the opportunity to spend eight days on a solo trip to Paris, and it was glorious. \u00a0Each day I set my itinerary, and rain or shine, I set out on foot to see some beautiful sights. \u00a0I have been to Paris many times. \u00a0In fact, my husband and I spent our first New Year as newlyweds in the City of Lights while we were living in Switzerland. \u00a0However, this was the first time I was there alone to do whatever my little heart desired.<\/h3>\n

I stayed in the Marais area, and a special antique sale took place during my visit. \u00a0One vendor’s display that really piqued my curiosity was a selection of seltzer bottles. \u00a0There were hundreds of them in many colors, but mostly a beautiful blue. \u00a0I wanted to buy one or a hundred, but I was going to join my husband and cycle to Brugges, Belgium which meant there would be no room for a seltzer bottle.<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The different shades of blue were really pretty. \u00a0I don’t know what the labels on the bottles were for.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the seltzer bottles were lime green and even orange.<\/h3>\n

So, I was thrilled when my latest ebay purchase arrived this week with my very first seltzer bottle. \u00a0Our new place has a wonderful wet bar with shelves. \u00a0I plan to place some of my framed black and white Paris photos, that I wrote about here<\/a>, <\/strong>on the\u00a0shelves along with this seltzer bottle.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Honestly, I don’t know if the blue plastic netting is supposed to be there or if the seller used it to protect the bottle during shipment.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This bottle was used by Boulevard Beverages in the Bronx, NY, but it was made in Czechoslovakia.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The spout says Wasserman.<\/h3>\n

I plan to research Boulevard Beverages and Wasserman to see if I can learn anything about them. \u00a0Meanwhile, I have a few purchases to make if I want to catch up to the vendor in Paris.<\/h3>\n
