I finally have my bottle tree! The post has been around here for years. It has been moved several times and used for several different things. I've been wanting to make a bottle tree out of it for some time but ran into trouble finding the right bottles (I wanted some blue ones) Anywho - last weekend hubby 'planted' the post for me and I put the clear and green bottles I had found on it. Then, thanks to Linda I found some blue bottles and the purple ones (which I thought were more pink, but 'tis okay). The blue and purple bottles added just the right touch!
I received some stitchy stash in the mail this week, but apparently I failed to download that picture from the camera so it will have to wait for a later post.
Have a great Wednesday!

Love the bottle tree. Never seen one before, but I like it. Makes an interesting ornament for your yard. Great job.
The colored bottles add just the perfect touch....you know the bottle tree is from African Folk Lore the colored bottle are to ward off evil spirits.... so I think you are covered... no evil get in at your house...

Great bottle tree - what a neat idea!
I really like your bottle tree and would love one for my yard. Your bottle color combinations are great. Linda
Love the colorful bottle tree, now those evil spirits won't be able to get to your house.:) My neighbor has several of these outside his home, and now I save any cool bottles I have and give them to him. He is very appreciative.

I've been saving bottles for a tree, seems like forever. Just having trouble finding the right ones.
I was commenting to ask if you knew that folk lore states that this is to ward off evil spirits, but I see that Linda already filled you in. Don't you simply love it.
