OLD BOTTLES & OLD HOUSE NUMBERS

Here's a nifty idea I came up with the other day......I had a big old box of old liquor bottles that I just kept moving from one place to the next and I also had like 56 old brass house numbers that have been laying around....wellllllll they came together to make some really cool looking vases or just plain ole knick knacks! I think they look great in a grouping just about anywhere. They add texture and a bold visual statement for a small piece. Super easy project.....super lookin accent! You can see these for yourself in my booth w12 at the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall in Charlotte NC!

~~~~~RUST~~~~~

It's the color............ the texture..............

and the time worn appeal that gets me every time............

Love it!!
