Lots of English ones, as well as beautifully painted ones in the shape of houses and birds. I also have a few special ones for each holiday-Easter, Christmas, Valentines Day, Halloween and so on. I keep them down to about 100 of my favorites. I can't imagine plastering them to the wall though. I don't envy the amount of work you have to go through to clean the plaster and paint from them. I empty them, being careful to save the label if possible. I usually don't care for the scents, but appreciate the beautiful ceramic form.Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-34598464341306173432011-06-28T14:49:39.595+01:002011-06-28T14:49:39.595+01:00OMG, you made me laugh so hard my coffee nearly ca...OMG, you made me laugh so hard my coffee nearly came out my nose!
