Wine Bottle Vases Embellished

Painted Wine Bottles with ribbon Vases

Remember those wine and liquor and olive oil bottles that I spray painted white for the family wedding festivities and shared with you here? Well, there are so many white bottles hanging around our home now that I just had to start using them as canvases for a little creativity. After all, white bottles are nice, but sometimes something just a bit more colorful might be even better, don’t you think? Take a look at these wine bottle vases embellished with a few findings from my stash: ric rack, zippers and ribbon! 

Ric Rack Flower With Zipper Trim

Now these bottles are ready for a fun party of sorts or to add a little cheer to your home just because! And if you happen to have some pom pom flowers hanging around, well they work perfectly with this whimsical look. And since you may be wondering about the ric rack rosette/flower, well it was a bit improvised and I ended up with way too much hot glue everywhere! The best technique is to start with a round piece of felt in the same color as your ric rack, and then starting at the middle wrap the ric rack around to form a flower. If you have a tiny glue gun that is surely preferable, or you may want to try using fabric glue. The pink pieces under the flower are zipper halves! Enjoy and stay tuned for some more fun bottle embellishments!

    To Whom It May Concern:
    I have just come across your blog, and I thought you and your readers/followers might be interested in learning about Emmy award winning filmmaker Gayle Kirschenbaum’s upcoming feature documentary that you may use for a story of your own. It is a film concerning a relationship between a woman and her Jewish mother, and it promises to heal many.
    Please see below for the full story:
    My Imperfect Nose is Perfectly Okay
    A single woman, her mother and her nose create a dangerous love triangle
    in the recently released short film MY NOSE
    and to be completed in-depth feature film MY NOSE: THE BIGGER VERSION
    Since Gayle was little there was nothing that her mother didn’t think needed fixing. Her nose was too big, her hair too wild, her breasts too small. She spent years fighting to keep her imperfect yet original nose. This is a story about a woman’s stance to love who she is, preserve her identity and share her story to help others.
    Gayle is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker and TV producer whose films have premiered on HBO and Discovery. She has been featured widely in the media including The New York Times, Washington Post, Ladies Home and NBC’s Today Show.
    We live in a world that keeps telling us we are not good enough the way we are. And many people have turned to plastic surgery to feel better about themselves. Some have done a complete makeover like Heidi Montag. Many think fixing the outside will fix the inside. After actress Jennifer Grey had a nose job, she lost her identity and could not get a job.
    According to American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number one plastic surgery is breast augmentation and the second is nose reshaping. That’s where Gayle’s story comes in. She grew up in a neighborhood on Long Island, NY in a time where the Junior High School Year book and the High School Year book were before and after pictures for nose jobs.
    Her mother’s relentless campaign to get Gayle to have a nose job started soon after her 14th birthday when she noticed the bump on her nose began to grow. She fought to keep her original nose, refused silicone injections and stopped straightening her hair. She wanted to know, “What is wrong with being me?”
    Gayle made a comedic award-winning short called MY NOSE about her mother’s quest to get her to have a nose job. MY NOSE dares to ask the important question: if it ain’t broke, should I fix it? Will changing my nose affect my relationship with my mother? The film played worldwide, got rave reviews and unexpectedly launched Gayle into becoming an “accidental therapist” teaching others how to deal with a critical parent and transforming difficult relationships.
    Due to the audience hunger for more she decided it was time to tell her and her mom’s story by going deeper and opening up her life for a more complex film. Gayle’s mother agreed to allow cameras in and they have been shooting for the last several years. MY NOSE: THE BIGGER VERSION delves humorously, intimately and poignantly into the issues of low self-esteem, poor body image and the highly charged mother/daughter relationship. By the end of this film, you will see that Gayle has learned to forgive her mother and what may be even more surprising is that they are now best friends.
    They say, people learn by example and Gayle considers herself blessed that through her own life challenges that she has been able to overcome and turn them around and forgive her mother. She now can help others through her films, seminars and writings.
    Gayle is available for interviews or happy to write an article. She is represented for her TV work at N.S. Bienstock. Please see the links below for more information.

    I have been making these fantastic potatoes for a long time, try putting a skewer through the middle after cutting them with a chop stick on either side preventing cutting thrugh completely.CHop stcks were as a stopp. Works beautfully. Add on rosted garlic every other slice sprinkled with shallots and fresh herbs and Reggiano parmesano. Drizzle with olive oil or clarified butter. Bake…
