From Trash to Treasure

Almost every weekend, and usually Saturday morning unless the weather is bad, my wonderful husband and I usually start our morning by enjoying a bagel and coffee at Panera Bread. I love their hazelnut coffee! And just to tell you how much I love hazelnut coffee, I also carry with me a can of GFI hazelnut coffee that I add to it. Yummm. Yes, I love my hazelnut.

Anyway, after we've had our bagel and coffee, we head to the flea market(s) to look for anything beachy, vintage and of course old bottles. The dirtier they are, the more I like it. My husband would rather buy them already cleaned but half of the fun to me is cleaning them up and giving them a makeover! And so far I've been able to clean them all except one.

Here are a few we found this weekend. We found a lot of little bottles that will make cute little seashell bottle sets. I've already started on a set. I see aqua, I see blue :)



And I had to show you this bunch we found at another flea market. Look at that cute little white bottle. I love that one. It's one of my favorite. It's an old Scuffkote shoe polish bottle....white shoe polish. No need to clean that one out. I think it is beautiful white.



Here's the awesome bottle caddy my husband made one day while I was at work. He even organized them! He's a keeper don't you think? But now we have so many bottles, he has to make another caddy!


Here's another little treasure I found at the flea market this weekend. I found two little pink glass boats. I just loved these. Had to have them for my Etsy shop. One has already sold. Have one left.




And finally, here is my trash turned into treasure. All of these bottles are currently available in my Etsy shop.



Thanks for stopping by!
