If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
~Jim Croce
This is an idea found somewhere in a stack of old magazines that my sister gave me when she departed the state a few weeks ago. It could be from Country Living or from Downeast Magazine. I'm sorry that I can not find the article to give proper credit. Nevertheless, it was such a simple idea and one that I could easily employ and since my sister was heading out...again...I found it meaningful to place the little photo I have of the two of us taken one Easter Sunday morning Have a wonderful weekend!
Such a great idea! That unique scultped bottle at the back of my china closet! I'll put it out and give it some usefulness! Bottled memories! Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteHi Vee,
ReplyDeleteI love that song! And that is a wonderful idea to put photos in a bottle. I saw something similar done a few years ago only the photos were placed in old blue canning jars lined up...or maybe they were clear, I dunno. I like the bottle idea even better! Thanks for sharing this.
Okay, taking off now to go paint. Getting a late start this morning. I'd rather stay home and read blogs. :)
Have a good weekend,
Cheryl
Love that idea! What a fun gift that would make for a milestone birthday...read 'vintage birthday'!
ReplyDeleteLove the song --- it brings back so many memories!
ReplyDeleteAnd the picture in a bottle --- charming, charming, charming! Love the idea --- my head is spinning with them! Can't you see an entire shelf filled with bottles and old-fashioned photos of ancestors? What a lovely gallery that would make!
Vee, I just had to click and make the photo larger, I just enjoyed it so much, I love the frilly parasol. And what a neat idea, with the leaves in the glass, just an added touch. . I am certainly going to steal, , I mean borrow this idea!.lol
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.
Hugs,

Oh Vee I love that idea. It is perfect for the little added touch I need for my handmade baskets I am making for my kiddos.

Vee, I've been saving some small squarish jars from my favorite pear butter. They'll be perfect for this. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for visiting my blog, too.

Love it, Hope your Sunday is filled with many Blessings....m...
ReplyDelete"Time is a Bottle" was my wedding song! I always feel so sentimental when I heat that song.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very sweet idea. The photo looks very special in the bottle. I know how you feel, Vee. My sister moved across the country a few years ago. She is over 5 years older than me, and we were not too close, but it still hurts to not have her close by.
