Vintage Inspiration Friday #16 Altered Christmas Bottles

I can hardly believe that it will be Christmas next week.

But we still have time to share our Vintage Inspiration for the Holidays!

I had so much fun making the altered bottles for Halloween

that I did a bunch up for Christmas.

Most of them I took to my booth space at Spring Creek,

but I've also been giving them as "mini"presents this year.

Edited for December 20ll.

I made these with vintage bottles and cut out pieces of old book pages for the background, then used graphics from Dover Publishing or the Graphics Fairy, cut them out and Mod Podge over it all. Super Simple

Here they are at Spring Creek

And a few on my kitchen windowsill holding some holly sprigs.

I'm going to start sharing a few of the entries from the previous week

 to highlight some fun and inspiring vintage ideas.

There have been so many wonderful photos and inspiration,

but I just grabbed a few.

A Little White for Christmas

My garage sale angel received a new coat of white for  Christmas.

Her robes had been burgundy,

but she wasn't flying fast enough,

so my paint brush got her.

Some white reindeer hanging around on my Dining Room tree.

hanging out in my picnic basket

with a glitter sleigh under glass

atop my milk glass cake pedestal

little white putz churches and houses

my splurge for Christmas

a vintage bottle brush wreath

at least I think it's vintage...?

maybe not,

I don't want to know.

Two of my flock on the buffet in the Dining Room.

They are my permanent residents here.

Just wanted to share a little of the white here this Christmas

Hope to see you this weekend for
