I have a simple and practical glass butter dish with the perfect cover. It holds just the right amount of butter before it has to be replenished from the hard fridge butter. But now I want to change it. Why? Because my friend got such an adorable one in a beautiful green with a delightful surprise of purple inside. So I'm jealous. I know I won't find one as perfect, but I also know it is perfect for her cottage and that mine will have to be just a little different for my needs. This is the butter dish my friend scored for just $15. Isn't it sweet?

This is what I have - boring but oh so practical.

And here are a few I think would look pretty awesome on my counter. My favourite is the turquoise depression glass one.

It's important to have only those things on your counter that you love, or need on a daily basis, otherwise your counters just get too cluttered, and that's not a good thing. How will a sweet little butter dish stand out if there are too many things around it?
