2. Get us involved.
3. Visit other Weekly Geeks. Link in your post to other Geeks who've peaked your interest in their passion. Or maybe you might find a fellow aficionado among us, link to them.
I really want to participate in Weekly Geeks. Still, I try to stick to my principle that this blog is dedicated to crime (fiction). So I have decided to let a few photos speak for themselves of my ´blue collection´, and as you can see, one of them is actually crime-related.
I know that this is not really going to involve anyone, but as I need good pictures of beautiful tins & boxes for my weekly feature "Bait in the Box" I would appreciate any link to photos of this kind (which I may borrow).
NB: I am aware that text and photo overlap but don´t know what to do about it.

Pretty blue collection!
Beautiful blues. Any idea how old the poison bottle is?
That poison bottle is great! I also love your beautiful windows with all of the blue.
I have pictures to some blue tins on my blog. These first tins are old medicine containers, so they might not be what you are looking for.

This one is a lovely tin with the Nativity scene on it. http://ebogie.blogspot.com/2008/12/nativity-tin.html
I love all things blue.. those are beautiful..
Those are gorgeous! I love collections but I never know what to collect;) I prefer appreciating others' like yours.
Thank you for all your nice comments. I have another window in fact, but the photo was not good. I don´t know about the poison bottle, but I don´t think it is very old. It is probably just a copy made for fun, but for someone who collects crime fiction AND blue glass it was a wonderful find. I think it cost 20 kroner (£ 2-3).
And Elizabeth, I have been there & collected your funny tins and your beautiful nativity box. Thanks a lot :)
I have four tins sitting on a shelf above my desk. I've just photographed them and would be more than happy to send copies of the photos to you. Email me at cathyskye@yahoo.com if you're interested! (They were my mother's and are at least 50 years old.)
Thank you Cathy!
I have had a wonderful afternoon, collecting other people´s funny, original and beautiful tins. But I have plenty of room for more wonders if anyone else would like to help me. And of course I put your photos in separate files with your name so I know who sent me which ones :)
How pretty! I hope they make you smile every time you walk into the room and see them!
I love all the blue glass!
I love all things blue and I love your glass!
Dreamybee, I do smile every time I really see my two blue windows. We moved here ten years ago, and I began collecting blue glass immediately (I owned a few things already, but then we had four glass shelves put in, and it accelerated immediately).
Beth and Linda: I don´t understand why blue is seen as a sad colour. Nothing could be prettier, really.
