Mini bottle vases


Recently Amanda from Small Acorns posted about her attraction for bottles and a funny story about sourcing a heap of bottles for wedding table decorations.
A few weeks ago I was having a cuppa at a small cafe in Hobart. My milk came out in the cutest little bottle that I instantly thought would be great with a little posy in it. It was all I could do not to 'acquire' the bottle but since that's not my style I just wished for a bottle discovery soon.
Well, imagine my surprise when I accidentally (while looking at cakes and other naughty treats) discovered the little bottles of Italian peach juice in Woolworths supermarket! Who'd have thought some mini bottles of juice would make me so chuffed! And only $4.75 to take them home!


I think they look lovely with a daisy or rose, maybe on the mantel or as a cute table display :)


Pretty violets and daphne with the most beautiful scents. Sometimes a simple idea is a great one, don't you think?
ps. the juice was nice too!
