I do have a problem with wine bottles!I LOVE THEM!
Friends, family, even the manager of a local restaurant (thank you Isidro) have been saving bottles for me.
Here's the story... last year I started making collages on various bottles (wine, tequila). I have quite a few vintage photo's and thought I might make something with them. Throughout the years I have hung onto bits and pieces of memorabilia and have added to the collection via Antique stores and most recently Etsy.
Working on "my projects" is my kind of relaxation. My days are filled with work (thank you God) and spending time with my youngest son. He lives 45 minutes away so there is quite a lot of "road time".
Driving back home one day was when the "wine bottle" idea came rolling into my mind. I have repurposed for years-hehe.
I started making the collages for family and friends. I have been fortunate to have some orders come in so I thought I would put a few on Etsy (their temporary house).
If you have a chance, please check them out. I value your opinion.

Thanks so much for your SUPPORT!
They are beautifully done, Barb. I do the same thing - except I've never used wine bottles. These narrow-necked bottles are perfect for a single stem of a flower.

Oh how I love those wine bottles! I am going to try it. I think they make great gift ideas. I hope you will enter Tommy in the Halloween Costrume Contest at Dogs On Thursday. Charli wants to see him in his costrume:>)
Barb, Thank you so much for asking about my hubby. He is doing much better.
How creative. How cool that you have an etsy shop. I didn't know this!
Great job, Barb! I had to laugh when I read your comment on my blog about your husband not understanding why you love tarnished silver... hehehe, mine is just the same! He could not believe I was bringing home such deteriorated "things"... :)
Have a lovely day, sweet lady.

P.S I like your bottles very much
Your bottles look beautiful! You are very artistic. Please pray for me. I'm going to be coming off the chemo. I take it for my arthritis, but the side effects are so bad that I am just going to go without it. I appreciate your prayers.

I love the look of this wine bottle and I'll go and look at your Etsy store bottles too! Great idea!
