look really closely at the flowers here -- can you see the vase?

for those of you who love your fish, and you know who you are....this is my much coveted pet fish. his name is bob. also bob. i'm sensing a theme here....i forgot i'd bought this vase a few years ago in a little gift shop that had all hand blown glass things. i was going to use it to put fish in when i got around to it, but it's been tucked away in my storage locker downtown and i found it yesterday in a drawer - can you believe that all that time and all those moves to and fro, and i managed to have it survive intact! when i opened it up to see what i had in the box, i was disappointed to see my zeal at being creative with my aquarium idea was all for naught - the opening on the top of the fish is barely large enough for the stalk of flowers and the sprig of greens i put in it tonight....jokes on me, right? i'll get over it, it's still the best 8.99 handblown glass i've got, and i've got a bit of good hand blown glass....
