Anne Marie collects antique bottles and loves to turn them into works or art. She will buy bottles if she likes them, but she prefers to find them in the ground. She will find bottles everywhere, but she picks them selectively. However, she has the best luck at construction sites on old farmland, where she spends most of her time. Often, bottles appear on the surface after a good rain, but they disappear very soon. She will use special tools for excavating bottles, including a set of brushes. She does not want to break the bottles as she removes them from the ground. After finding a new bottle, Anne Marie will add it to her display case and hung on the wall as an artistic piece.

Hi, John. What’s new ?
Oh, nothing too much with me, but you ought to see Fredo’s new car. It’ll knock your socks off!
So, he finally got that Italian sports car he’s been dreaming about.
He sure did. When you see all the custom features that it has, you’ll get so enthused and excited you won’t know what to do.
Boy, I can hardly wait to go for a ride in it.
