Due to inclement weather and the President's Day holiday it is only available so far at my two favorite consignment shops:

Barb's Corner Consignment at 25 W. Main St., Ansonia, and Lizzie's Corner Consignment and Gifts, 19 Bank St., Seymour.

Check out both these stores. You won't be disappointed.

Oxford resident creates 'Bookworm Bottles'

OXFORD - Ever wonder what to do with an empty bottle? 
Resident Kate Mirabella has, and you can see how she used her creativity to make 'Bookworm Bottles' on display at Lizzie's Corner Consignment and Gifts at 19 Bank St. in Seymour.

Mirabella recently started making the literary-themed bottles. 
Her mother, Elizabeth Pisano, opened Lizzie's Corner last month. 
Pisano makes beautifully lit bottles. Her business is "Re-Designed by Elizabeth." I'm happy to say I won one of her creations in October during a raffle on Seymour Pink Day.

Snow White and Rapunzel are in the house! 
Talk about bringing back childhood memories. These labels certainly do that.

And, I must agree with the label at left that says, "It's Always Tea-Time!

The moral of the story is: Go to Lizzie's Corner and check out the crafts and consigned items, including Kate's creative work.

I'll meet you at the corner - Lizzie's Corner in Seymour
