I was looking specifically for a home for my daughter's toothbri (plural for toothbrush). Although Wiktionary disagrees and says "Toothbrushes" are the plural; I think Toothbri is much more fun:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/toothbrush.
That aside, my daughters toothbri needed a home. I'm sure many of us have heard the studies where toothbri are vulnerable to fecal matter in the atmosphere as they share the same airspace. I found an article which basically says, "Don't worry about it; fecal matter is everywhere." What a relief!

The Toohbrush Dilemma is an interesting one. Or maybe it's not; maybe it's the most boring dilemma to ever come down the pike in 500 years. Nevertheless I make things "Waaaayyy too complicated" as my husband tells me. So, maybe this was one of those times. Why couldn't I keep her toothbri in the same spot. Well, for one there's something about toothbri holders than even the "Clutter-Cozy" stylist such as myself says "Ewww, that's just gross...even my semi-annual cleaning won't be able to remove that grime." I thought that a trip to Target or Fry's was needed to find the perfect toothbrush holder since the suction cup head things are lacking in suction-icity, but at least they provide some kind of barrier to the fecal infested air, we seem to all be breathing, all the time.
If there's anything that www.Houzz.com has taught me, it's that just because products are made for something specifically doesn't mean you have to use it that way. This vase-like knick-knack, hand-painted by me, herself, though probably intentioned for my Grandmother to use as a back-up hot sauce dish, or maybe something within to hold small wildflowers, is now being used as a toothbri holder, so sue me! But, I saved at least $10, reusing this piece of original art-work, which probably could have been sold on E-bay at a competitive price.
