Found Bottles and Flowers from my Mother's Garden

Today I thought I'd share with you some floral inspiration along with a 'show and tell' of my ever-expanding bottle collection!

I have an unhealthy obsession with bottles, especially vintage and especially in beautiful blue hues. Walking into a vintage store can generally be quite hazardous to my bank account. Try as I might to kick the habit, I inevitably end up returning home with yet another bottle only to add yet another unnecessary item to our space-challenged apartment. However, they sure are pretty! :)

  1. Mini clear vintage bottle from Chapel St Bazaar
  2. Linmaren Bottle from Ikea
  3. The Bell Patent bottle from an antique shop in Canterbury
  4. Large, wide blue bottle from Spotlight
  5. Small blue bottle with vintage label from A Day on Earth (former Chapel St store)
  6. Vintage Imperial Brewing Co. bottle from Izzi and Popo

... and flowers from my mother's garden.

    It's really nice that the bottles have such bright colours!

    What a lovely collection! And the light in the photographs is really breath-taking, especially when you consider that the days over here in Europe are getting shorter and shorter. Love it!

    Hi Adeline- Thanks! I'm so flattered that you would like to use my image as your wallpaper. I can't get you a higher res version just yet but I will actually be creating some desktops soon and will consider turning your suggested image into one!

    The blue bottles are so charming. Your flower arrangements bring out the most in their subtle shades of blue.
