Bottle Fetish
Lovely glistening glass. Sexy shapes and beautiful embossing.
From simple maple syrup bottles to Patron tequila bottles, it’s so hard to throw such loveliness away.
Beverage bottles, in particular, give perfume bottles a bit of competition in the beauty department. The Patron bottle has a wonderful shape. I love the recycled, bubbled glass, the embossed trade name and the spout.
Grand Marnier bottles cause me great grief to toss out. The sexy shape of the neck, the wax seal, the caramel color, the embossed Paris, France on the back of the bottle! Such gorgeousness should live on somehow. But how? Line ‘em up on the mantel like a frat house?
I’ve been saving bottles and jars without a clue of what to do with them. I suppose I should just bite the bullet and put these in the recycle bin.
If you still have the bottles, put them in an aquarium on their side and let the fishes have caves.
Len, that is a fantastic idea! I don’t have fish, but my brother and mom do.
I’m not sure if this comment counts as a second to your giveaway, but I love bottles as well. If you have a large undecorated window, line the bottles up along the sill and use a display or make shelves across the window/over the sill for any other bottles you have for when the light shines through. You can also group them together on a side table with a lamp or just with some foliage inside. The key is to either have the bottles be all uniform or have a really large mix of textures, colors, and shapes.
I love bottles! I actually have a great photo that I may be posting on my blog this Wednesday or Thursday! They make me happy!
I love to go into the liquor store with hubby and gaze at all the gorgeous bottles…the foreign ones especially are stunning…maybe I’ll check some of the bars around and see what THEY do with their old bottles…I’ve seen some French bottle dryers that would be fun in a garden…if I had a bottle dryer…or a garden for that matter..hm…in a college town though, no shortage of bars at least…
