Vintage Bottles

 

Thanks to everyone who joined in my first Treasure Hunt Tuesday today and also to those who just stopped by to see the treasures.  You still have time to join in and enter two different giveaways.

I have a serious crush on old bottles

 

Often, the bottles are missing their original lids
I love coming up with creative toppers
Left – a faux mercury glass Christmas bulb (Alex’s tutorial here)
 

This is an inexpensive acrylic cabinet knob

 

Another acrylic knob

 

I love using vintage doorknobs in the large bottles

 

This cork is seriously weathered

 

The lid in the center has a beautiful blue patina that sadly doesn’t show here

 

The knob on the left is from Hobby Lobby- it just looks old
 

*** I love this look ***
Beautiful old dusty bottles - still worthy of being displayed on a silver tray

    This gives me great ideas for what to do with my old bottles now! I dig them up all over our farm.

    very cool
    You would love it here, there is a place out in the desert where these old bottles are piled as far as the eye can see, and they are free for the takin'
    You just have to get past the spiders, snakes and scorpions that live in the desert, LOL

    Wow you have a wonderful collection of bottles. I love how you have them displayed on a silver tray. I have many but have them scattered here and there. I think I should put them together for a more dynamic display. ~~Sherry~~
