Bottles, bottles, everywhere...

Everywhere I look I am seeing bottles.  They look coastal.

They look romantic glowing with candles.
You get the idea.  They are showing up in decor everywhere.  And, a vintage bottle is always a great find.  So shopping the antique stores recently I came across two.
 

This bottle is similar to PB's in the first picture.  It is encased in wicker, old, and really unique.  I priced the one similar to mine, 16 inches high on PB's website, it was $179.00.  My bottle at local antique store $18. 

 
 I don't have a comparison for this bottle but it has all the great features of a vintage bottle.  The great green color, thick uneven glass with flaws, and bubbles that show it has been hand blown.  This bottle has a round bottom, so it can't even sit upright, that has me really intrigued.  This bottle I got for $5.

If you don't have any luck at an antique store.  I found this really cute bottle at TJMaxx for just $4.99.  It came with this really neat tin seahorse tag.  Love that.  I purchased the corks for the last two bottles at Walmart in the craft department.

 I will be joining these parties:
Three or More Tuesday at The Gypsy's Corner. 
2nd Time Around at A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words.
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday at Coastal Charm.
Toot Your Own Horn Tuesday at Silly Little Sparrow.
