I am so ready for Spring, but I've told you that already, haven't I?
Little bits of spring decor here and there are helping me to get that warm fuzzy spring is almost here feeling.
If you have never been to a Goodwill Outlet, then you have missed out on a very unique experience.
You have to be able to dig and grab with the best of them…and I mean the best because these people buy this stuff by the cartfuls, I assume to resale.
There are big bins FULL of anything you can imagine. I have only been twice and both times left with a few pretty cool things.
This trip, I found these three beauties!
Can you tell that these are wine bottles?
Can you believe it?
I had no idea that wine came packaged so pretty.
I mean this is my favorite color, you know.
I went outside before the torrential rain started this morning and brought in a few pretty branches with little buds beginning to form.
I love the way they look in these bottles.
Can you see why I call them my spring in a bottle?
I am partying over at Jennifer Rizzo's for a spring party she is hosting.

It's amazing how the simplest things sometimes are the prettiest.
Wow! They are so pretty! I never would have guessed they held wine. I have been looking for a round blueish glass bottle, but so far have not found one that is a shape that is pleasing to me.
Hi Amy! Well, those are like spring in a bottle, aren't they? Wish it was time for some budding trees around here...soon, I hope. Your bottles look great :)
beautiful Amy!! I haven't ever been to an outlet of theirs - just their shops -
great look with the branches - mine are still covered in ice - ugh -
xo+blessings,

Who knew wine bottles could look so good!!! Great find!
Could you "bottle" some of that and send it on over? These are so wonderful!

So...what you are telling us is that you did NOT drink all that wine yourself? And you really truly expect us to believe that? lol okay...
We once had a pastor who would have come to our house and told us that was a No-No. That church prohibited drinking and having those bottles would have been the "appearance of evil". God bless him..he was one of the best, and kindest men, I ever knew in spite of his strict beliefs.
So...we'll just pretend we don't know they are wine bottles! LOL...I LOVE them and the color is beautiful. It is beginning to look like Spring there! Hugs- Diana
I love the bin goodwill! I have found so many good things there but you're right...you can't be shy when you go! and wear gloves. :)
LOVE the bottles- just because they're so simple and the color is gorgeous. good job! I just might go tomorrow ~
Those bottles look really neat on that bench. I love your photography too. Are you changing the look of your blog?
I really do like those bottles and the way you have them displayed. And the bench you have them displayed on is wonderful!!! I love old benchs. I do not think there are any goodwill outlets in our area. I will have to check that out. I wish the trees in our area were budding. I love bringing in branches and see them spring to life. Blessings, ~~Sherry~~
Girl with a Goodwill like that you don't need a Relics...lol I just picked a couple of bottles and did the same thing. My aren't we kindred spirits. I love your bench too! Swooning over that old wood!

Oh yeah, I've seen those at the store and always think that it must be some cheap wine. Well, I'm about to buy me some cheap wine now. 3 of them!!
They look great, Amy. I love their simplicity with the branches. The chippy bench they're sitting on is not too shabby either.
I'm in love looks so sweet on your bench!
These are such a great find Amy,and so pretty with those branches. We will not have any buds for at least a few weeks, it's so nice to see a bit of spring begin to sprout!
Kim:)
I love it too,..
Hi Amy,
Your vingette of spring vines and bottles looks wonderful on the shabby bench!!! Love it.
I didn't know that wine came in such pretty bottles either.
hugs

I love the last picture. I can't believe how pretty the old wine bottles look. Of all the pretty vignettes you do I really think this is my most favorite.
That last picture is my absolute FAVORITE! I think it could be printed as the cover of a greeting card.
I've never heard of a Goodwill Outlet. I guess that means that the prices are even better than a regular GW? Awesome. I want to visit one.
(Because I'm cheap, ya know...)
beautiful! Great eye.
Your display of the bottles is simple yet beautiful. Love the bench they're sitting on. I find these bottles at our local recycling center.
Beautiful bottles. That bench is what really caught my eye - did you buy that or build it?
Beautiful Amy... love the branches! So when you say outlet... it's different from the regular store?
Those bottles are very Pretty! I have never heard of a goodwill outlet. I wonder if we have one around here?! Sounds fun..

These bottles are so pretty! I love the way you have them arranged. And I'd love to go to a GW outlet. Didn't even know one existed. Just found your lovely blog via Melissa. I was lucky to be featured too! I'm your newest follower and would be delighted to have you follow me back.
Have a wonderful day!

Wow, they look really pretty! Makes me SO ready for Spring!
Great finds Amy! I love them, you made them look like something straight out of Pottery Barn! So pretty! I hope you are well, I am a bit behind this week! :)
Wow, these are gorgeous! I have never been to an outlet...I feel so left out!

I love your "spring in a bottle"! I need to get myself some!
Those bottled plants are so beautiful!
Hi Amy, loved seeing your find. Lucky you to find three matching! I could be called the Queen of Thrifting. My husband loves to tease me about it now.
Love how you used the bottles.
Donna
Very nice Amy, I love the spring in a bottle! :) I had no idea there was a Goodwill outlet!!

Hi Amy-
I love to see nature indoors. I think your Goodwill finds look perfect with the branches - makes me want to go out and do the same.
My best-Diane
oh yeah! I just snagged one of those bottles from the recycle place where I take all the cans and papers! I was getting some others for a bottle tree I'm making outside my window and spied that big fat one all by itself! Love how you are using yours!
Those are great finds! I never find anything like that! They look perfect with the branches! Thank you for joining in on the party!
I love this! So fun and refreshing!
