Secret Bottle Top Collections

I have a bottle top collection hidden away, beneath the kitchen sink. My friends and relatives have been contributing to the collection. It’s been growing for about a year now. There are bright plastic bottles in the laundry space with strict instructions – Do Not Recycle. You may have guessed, I’m up to something.


I’ve wanted an excuse for having a bottle top collection ever since reading “The Lost Thing” by Shaun Tan. While I have yet to spend a summer sorting it out, I have been putting things together.
