Great idea...I have most of mine placed on glasses, around my fountain but for the rarer one like the Eiffel tower and Swiss Crosses etc I would rather stick them in a glass case.

Just a note to anyone comming to the New Orleans gathering I am going to bring around 6 or so bistro glasses (small dosed glasses) for those that don't have any. Take care!

On this note, I chanced upon what seems to be an old bulletin board from a church or school. It is made of solid oak 18"x28" and an inch deep. It has a thick removable glass window. I placed a black velvet backing in it. I use it to store my spoons. It really looks fantastic. People who don't know what absinthe is love it when they see it. I will try to post a photo. This was inspired by Mikes cases.

Just writing to let all you absinthe spoon collectors that the spoon cases over at Absinthe Collectibles are fantatic. I picked up two of them for my rarer spoons, and they are hanging on my wall looking great.

For those intersted check them out here:

take care!
