Almost forgot...

I ordered those glass bottles, but when they arrived one of them had smashed and broken and powdered glass was inside all the other bottles as well as sprinkledliberally over the carpet and table. I contacted Baldwins to let me know and they got back to me immediately, offering to replace the broken bottle and send a voucher for the inconvenience. Well, it was an inconvenience, but there's only so much you can do to protect glass and they've dealt with the matter promptly, politely and efficiently, so I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. besides, theirs was the best price I could find. Definitely worth a look if you need supplies of any kind in the herbal/homemade cosmetics and containers way, though their speciality appears to be natural remedies, essential oils and other natural products.

Self is not quite sufficient enough... yet

I tried my hardest to collect all the jars and bottles myself for the various potions I'm concocting, but there's only so much you can do in a month and I had a massive clearout when we moved house at the end of August...

Next year I'll do better, because I'll have a whole year to stock up and beg/borrow/steal glass jars and bottles, but for the time being I had to bite the bullet and buy a whole lot of small glass bottles to put my syrups and cordials in.

It wasn't cheap, the bottles worked out at 55p each with postage and packing included, but I'm going to try and sell half of them on, who needs 84 150ml bottles, huh?

Anyone need 42 150ml glass bottles?
