When we lived in the Solomon Islands (Guadlacanal) I bought a couple of old Coca-Cola bottles that are dated 1944 and 1942 from an old Scavenger at the market. I also bought an army water bottle. On the weekend I dug them out and placed a branch of Apple Blossom in each and put them up the centre of the dining room table. And now you post about bottles!
Wow. The incidental bottles were great -- and the 'enhanced' hollywood starlet collections were also great. Usually, I don't like set-ups that don't work in real life -- but somehow this was different. Maybe it was the mouse.
I don't suppose you'd ask for mouse in the house pics, like you do dog on chair pics? Didn't think so.

I am so going to the flea market today with an eye on bottles.
The coral in the bottle is a really nice idea. I love the little mouse too.
I have such a fascination with glass bottles. Thanks for sharing all the photos. (I love the drippy wax!)

I'm so inspired by this whimsical post! The vintage glass bottles are so beachy-chic. Love it.

Loving all the bottles. A personal favourite is the pharmacy bottle.
Yay, bottles! I love tsalanang's idea; too bad my husband & I are so accident prone!
