Comments (7)Mini bottle tree. Pound some nails into a small board or spindle. Attach it to the top of a bigger post. Or just do the very top of a big post. Someone posted a pic of a mini bottle tree a few years ago, it was really nice. They had a bunch of wire cut and bundled together on the bottom then made the loose ends like tree branches and stuck the bottles on the ends of the branches. Don't remember for sure but they may have incorporated some colored beads into it. They had it in a window. Almost like a mini bottle tree bonsai. ( I've been playing with an old wire whisk with the wires cut, would work for the tree too) Thinking of the wire whisk you could spread the wires out (or really use anything else) hang the gottles and make a wind chime. They would make nice bugs though wouldn't they, perfume bottle ought to have lots of personality. How many have you got?...See Moreunknown type of glass bottle
Comments (3)Carter's inks came in that particular style (referred to as ring shoulder cone) from the 1870s until about 1920. So, it's not that new. You can date it, not by whether the rim was applied or molded in, but by what kind of stopper would have appeared in the bottle. This is not a screw top, and Carter went to screw lids around 1920. It was corked. That shape was used Jaynboro, because it was hard to tip when you filled or dipped a pen. If you look at drinking vessels used on ships, you would also see the conical design for the same reason. Even though older than Linda suggested, it still isn't big $..........going rate on someplace like ebay is around ten dollars. But, it's cute....See MoreModern thick glass sink - anyone have any pictures?
Comments (18)Flying high you win the prize I looked all over the Internet and could not find the sink. You did, that is it! See the site you found shows the sink to be a more green rather then blue. I also see the sink is 82lbs. The guy that I purchased it from said 35lbs but the way he was struggling I said no way. When he put it into my car yesterday the back of my van went down. Yikes! Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I couldn't decide between the square or the round and I am still kicking it around. But the square is in my trunk. I wanted something ultra modern different and I think I got it. We got a super deal 439.00 including all the drain plumbing. I tell ya if you look hard enough there are local people trying to keep their doors open so give them a chance. There are others that won't get off their %$#. I ran into that yesterday too. Oh it is so frustrating some of these snooty shop owners. Oh gosh I am getting off topic. fnmrboberts thanks for sending your picture over I like the coloring you used and I also liked to see the example of the dark counter and a dark cabinet that was a great idea to repeat the frosted treatment on the mirror. Profrip Yes your right the Sirius line. I have made no definite plans on anything as far as color. It is such an issue. I like your thoughts on the white counter with the chips of green however those type of counters are a throwback to the old mica counters and I just can't wrap my head around doing that however I do like the idea. The only permanent decision would be this sink, which reads very green. dolfanz thanks for the comments on the upkeep and the rain-ex good point. I generally leave a stack of rolled white towels at each sink and I think we will have to get into the habit of using them for a quick wiping it out. I think I need to start a new thread "show me your bathrooms that used green!" I would like to do something different on the back wall behind the vanity. When I walk into my finished bathroom I want to be giddy like a school girl! My tile decisions could make or break that experience....See MoreWhat is your favorite perfume/cologne/body spray?
Comments (47)I just remembered back in the 80's I use to wear Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, Giorgio, Opium and Obsession. Later I switched to Magie Noire, Casesars Woman and Cinnabar. I think the reason I stopped wearing perfumes because I burned out my sinuses with such heavy fragances. LOL I hated Poison because my MIL bathed in it. The guest room would reek for weeks afterwards. Maybe that is another reason I started hating strong perfumes. I wonder? I loved Estee Lauder's White Linen but it stunk on me. I haven't bought or wore a new fragrance in over 8 or 9 years. Clare...See Morenodakgal
