# I inherited my mother’s shot glass collection when she passed,…

I inherited my mother’s shot glass collection when she passed, despite neither of us really drinking and the fact that I collect coffee mugs more often than shot glasses.

I have added to her collection here and there in the six and a half years since she died but I wondered what I was going to do with them besides collect and display them. We move often so packing and moving them safely is a labor of love.

Then today it dawned on me while I was looking for an unused propagation jar. I have a whole cabinet full of tiny “prop” glasses that I can use for tiny plant babies and think of my mom while I do it.

She’d probably be tickled because she loved flowers and gardens but she had a black thumb 🫣

Today’s prop is purple basil (and probably could have just been eaten because it was a small chop to encourage a bushier plant instead of leggy-ness) in a Walt Disney World Double Shot.
