Back on the bottle

Last November I went to Dead Horse Bay with a very respectable guide and regaled you with tales of our treasures. Well, now that spring has sprung, I've gone back and stocked up with even more scavenged new-old loot.

This time I was escorted by the awesome Amy Azzarito from Apartment Therapy. I forgot to take a single photo of the beach because I was too distracted A. looking for bottles and B. talking with this amazing girl. She is a bee keeper who wrote her grad thesis on counter culture architecture for god sakes! Geodesic domes!

Oh well. We will just have to go back again so I can take more pictures.

Last time I beefed up my milk glass collection and this time I looked for smaller clear glass bottles that I could use for flowers. Milk bottles and inks wells, etc...

The 15 or so bottles that I took home are now living tucked away in my picnic basket with the rest of my hoarded clear bottles. All 37,000 of them (I joke). I have too many to even display so I've been stashing them away, out of sight out of mind.

I can't wait to make little clusters of wildflower/weed bouquets come summer. And maybe even empty out that darn picnic basket so I can finally get some use out of it!
