Bottles and A New Collection...


I stopped by a garage sale the other day and found a few few goodies!  Don't you love these aqua bottles?  The wire closure tops are fun, too!


And I found two lovely old plates!  I don't have any like these, but fell in love with them...I think it is the start of a collection!


Love the faded lettering and florals...




So pretty!


Have you ever spotted something and knew immediately you wanted to collect it?

I am joining Debra of Common Ground's Monday Marketplace with some of my etsy goodies...

and Linda of Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesday


Until next time...

  1. Great find on those bottles. Unique stoppers. I just bought some tulips today and I can see a tulip in each bottle lined up on my table.

  9. I love the bottles and the especially the wonderfully faded plates.

    I love the old bottles that were used for medicines, like lung tonic!

    I saw a collection of hat pins a few years ago and they all looked so lovely together - I bought one and now I have eleven.

    I only buy ones I really really love now - and don't spend lots on them either. Now I am looking for the perfect holder for them.

  22. Two months ago I thought I had too many collections and I was thinning them out. I have learned since blogging that i just needed to learn how to display things. Heaven help me when I start hitting the garage sales!

  26. The bottles are great!! I can see some homemade lemonade in them for a party or shower.
    Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I'm on Easter break, thank goodness!

  29. Yes, it's fun when
    something sings
    to you, isn't it? I
    have even collected
    things for a while,
    then decided I was
    all done with them,
    and I think that's okay.

    Both these collections
    are so YOU, my friend!

    Finally catching up with
    my blogs. You've been
    a busy girl!
