What exactly comprises "a collection"? It's often said that if you have three or more than common objects then you exercise indeed have a collection. I suppose so, but when I see a whole row of ironstone pitchers lined up on a shelf, or 10 trophy cups, or in this instance…a bunch of bottles then yous know that the owner is serious!

I'thousand a dedicated collector from way back. As a young girl my first flea market place foray was with my aunt and I purchased a vintage glass perfume canteen with my piggybank savings. There were some truly fascinating finds at the marketplace and it piqued my interest in all things tattered and worn. The rest was history and flash forrad to my mid-thirties and back to the fleas I went with kids in tow. Later on came my antiquarian mall selling days and eventually eBay and a super successful website of my own. While I don't sell any longer I still love to decorate with collections and thought that I would share a few tricks of the trade and styling collections ideas in visuals.

It was commonplace in the past to coffin bottles in your yard and no one actually seems to be able to explicate why. I find the character of these fascinating and although I did launder each one later purchasing at various flea markets I left the patina intact. A wonderful attribute of collecting is that yous can practise so over time…which I have done with bottles.

For my mantel display I only lined the bottles up in what I idea was pleasing to the eye, mixing shapes and colors. Styling collections randomly only using your eye or the eye of the camera does non accept to be overthought. I think that the expect is equally as effective with the wild flowers from my garden or without! As for bottles, they don't need to be old. If you just keep your eyes wide open at what you're already using, merely save them when finished and spruce them up. Merely take a look at THESE!
