Show and Tell Friday - My Favorite Glass
Coca-Cola would have a promotion from time to time in Romania for free glasses. Three bottle caps would earn a free glass. We went to dinner at a friends house this past winter and they had the entire set of the newest glasses. There were five or six different sayings. I loved the one pictured on the left because of the saying. I just had to have at least one and the whole set if possible. So I started collecting the caps. One day, a little boy in the neighborhood trying to earn some money had a small sack full of the yellow caps needed for the glasses. How he knew that I wanted them, I have no clue. But he was selling the sack of caps for 50,000 lei ( less than the cost of two bottles of coke). We took him up on his offer since it was enough for my set of 6. The next time that John went to the store, he took the caps to exchange them for our glasses. The sales woman told him that she was sorry, they only had one type left - the one I wanted! So I now have a set of six Coca-cola glasses that say, "Eu gatesc, voi spalati vasele." It means, "I cook, you wash the dishes." I love it!Visit Mary's blog for more show and tell!

Ohhhh Karen! This is too cute. I love that saying. You were killing me as I wondered if you were going to share what the saying meant...you managed to keep me in suspense until the end. I wonder how many husbands will go for that saying???
Blessings to you!
PS I am visiting you because of Mary's blog! I am also a homeschooling mommy.
I love that glass!! My DH and I collect Coca-Cola memorabilia, and I am always so interested to see the Coke bottles and cans from other countries. What a neat Show & Tell!
Blessings,

I didn't know you lived in Romania (I clicked your signature and ended up at your HSB blog. How fascinating. Query: what was the advantage of going to Blogspot instead of staying with HSB? I'm relatively new at HSB and was curious. Others have done that, too, and I'm just wondering why.
That's a great looking glass and I love the saying. What a neat story about how you received your set.
Oh,that is too neat of a story! Last night we were with our flock group and our elder was collecting the coke bottle caps! Now I have a story to tell him.

Hi Karen,
I love the glass. It is neat to see common things in various languages. I wonder why they chose that phrase. What other phrases were there?
Well, I hope this comment goes through this time.

Great S&T,

I love the cup! I do wish they had more of those giveaways in the states. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get the hubby to move ;)
I have an award for you at my blog-
Blessings to all.
Oooh! I can see why that saying was your favorite as I sit here staring at my supper dishes that aren't washing themselves...LOL!
