That reminds me of My Great Uncle...we would go visit him on sundays, and have sunday dinner with him, and my Aunt. He was an Old Time Farmer, and had a Bottle Tree in his front yard...i always thought that was the coolest thing. Wished i had his old bottles...no telling how much they would be worth today.

Hey trish
I also enjoy the lore of the bottle tree that states bad spirits are attracted to the shiny bottles (especially cobalt blue) and they (the spirits) would get caught inside the bottle so as not to enter one's house.
How ya doin? I hope you're feeling saucy and life is sassy!

The interesting part is finding a creative way to display them.
Very nice installation.

The Colbolt Blue is my favorite...I should start collecting wine bottles and paint the inside with glass paint (wonder how well that would hold up?) and make my own tree.....Have you seen the Copper Made Bottle Tree's? Their pretty.
