Do you remember Mrs. Buttersworth in Glass?

Through the years, I have made quite a lot of pancakes, and have bought quite a lot of syrup. My children liked Mrs. Buttersworth better. That was back when her bottles were made of glass. Along with embroidery, I also like to play with paint now and then. I thought it was a shame to throw these cute bottles away and one day decided to give Mrs. Buttersworth a makeover. Here are the results.{: The red bottle is one of the later produced with a plastic cap. The green is older and has a metal cap. My son found her half-way buried under one of Bell's trees in her back yard. He knew how much I loved these bottles and asked Bell if he could give it to me. I have a couple of the much older, much larger ones that I found at flea markets, and I have a wonderful friend in Dallas who used to mail them to me. I have about a dozen with the plastic caps waiting to be painted, and a few with metal caps. I hesitate to paint them now that they are no longer made of glass. I only have these two painted and have given one in blue away to a friend for her kitchen. My idea was to replace the plastic caps with pump dispensers so that the bottles could be used for lotion or dish soap. As you can tell, each lady has an apron and a hat with flowers. I also name my bottles. The green is Mirella and the red is Clara Beth. I spent the weekend stitching and since I didn't have any thing new stitched to show, I thought this might make you smile.
