Quite astonishingly, I've single-handedly managed to drink a mega-large bottle of Disaronno in only four months!! I was about to chuck the bottle into the glass recycling box when I realised it was actually rather a pleasing chunky shape. After several hours soaking it in a bowl of water to remove the labels, it makes quite a nice stem vase. With the addition of a small branch of what I think is Jews Mallow from the garden, it's now adding a tiny bit of Zen to our living room mantelpiece.
never heard of Disaronno and a visit to their website was no help. liquor? liqueur? reminds you of? drink it with? in?

Well done ole girl a whole bottle of Disaronno. Must be good for you?
Then you upcycle it into another thing of beauty.
I too have a bottle languishing in the fridge, you've inspired me to press on, in the name of art and zen of course.

Jeanie, try searching for Amaretto di Saronno. It's a delicious almond flavoured liqueuer. Drink with coffee, after dinner.
The flowers in the bottle are Kerria Japonica Pleniflora, and aren't they gorgeous. I've got this in my garden, but never heard the common name 'Jew's Mallow', so thanks for that Very Berry!
I love reading your blog by the way.

Ooh yes, this is gorgeous. Combining booze and interior pretties is always a winner with me!
