new things

A few weeks ago while I was cleaning my bathroom and ready to attack my toothbrush holder with soap and water, I ran into a problem. As I was cleaning the holder, it fell apart in my hands. Apparently up until that fateful moment, this holder had barely been hanging on to life. A rough touch completely ruined this thing. I suppose it had been exposed to water and steam for too long -- I do tend to keep my things until they are literally unusable -- and the screw that was holding the base to the stem had rusted.

Alas, I was toothbrush holder-less. But then, on another fateful day, I walked into Anthropologie and walked out with their Fleur-De-Lys juice glasses that I repurposed as my new toothbrush holding contraption!

They come in four colors, dark yellow, green, pink and clear. I chose clear because I couldn't decide!


After some deliberation, I may return the clear and get the green, although the dark yellow is pretty, too!


To end on a more decisive note, I did see the best mug ever, the Sunny Trails mug in yellow! I think I will go back and bring it home with me. Look at those feet!

  1. Funny you mention using Anthropology glasses as a toothbrush holder: http://ashevillelocavore.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/toothbrushholder.jpg

    (Toothbrush holder was the Euro Milk Glass from Anthropologie: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=780123&navAction=jump&navCount=24)

    I bought it about a month ago when I was in Charlotte. Love it.

  3. Oh, so you have a new glass toothbrush holder now! The green one is better, although the Sunny Tails mug is cute, too. Just be more careful this time. That's glass and it's more slippery.
