I'm in love with vintage bottles...Along with wedding dresses, fabric, lace, buttons, etc. etc.
I picked up a box of bottles at auction
And added water slide decals on these seltzer bottles with graphics from Graphics Fairy
While the water slide decal was still wet I rubbed it to take some of the writing off, I love the translucent effect I get from the water slide decals
I'm thinking these look 100 years old...OK, Maybe 20 years old
I kept one to put in my linen cupboard
and put the other two in my booth at Orange Tree
So, what's your weakness?? fabric,lace,bottles,buttons.........
Happy Creating!

I love them! Is there no end to your creative ideas? How do you come up with them?
I have way too many weaknesses to mention!
My weakness? All the above plus a whole lot more. I am all time saving the Graphic Fairy's pictures and have put them on iron-on paper. Where do you get the slide ons? You do a great job.

I still haven't tried the waterslide decals. Every time I see a project you've used them on I add it to my "to do" list. What is my weakness? It depends on what day it is. I have always had a love of things with bird or tree images on them. You are so talented! Keep inspiring us.

The waterslide decals are new to me, and they turned out fabulous on your bottles. I collect plants!
Oh Carol, these bottles are so pretty. I have never used water slide decals before. I will have to look into them. My weakness, definitely fabric! Back in my younger years I worked as a manager for several JoAnn stores and that weakness ended up with me spending most of my paycheck right back to the store!LOL
The bottles look great!
Love the vintage seltzer bottles too.
:) pop over and say hi if you get a sec.
Happy holiday blessing to you and yours.

They are so beautiful, I love that they're translucent. I have to try those water slide decals, love the look.
Love the bottles...what is my weakness...oh mercy, too many! I love lace, my wedding gown was all lace...I love bling...but I also love primative...I am all over the place!
What a fabulous idea, they are wonderful!
Merry Christmas

Oh Auntie Carol there is my FAVORITE cabinet.. Remember I have my name on that one... :) Those bottles are GORGEOUS!!!! So keep them in there so that way when I inherit the cabinet I get all the goodies inside as well .. :) I really need to learn this water slide thing..
What fun...really need to do this!!! I have many weaknesses including bottles and jars.
I love those too Carol! You just never stop, and you say I have a lot of energy. Must be those spinning classes of yours, you are thinking of ideas while pedaling!
Oh Im in love with everything I see here!!! Gorgeously done my dear, stunning!
I have a slight obsession with all the things you mentioned! HOW could anyone choose just one? :)
Hugs,
Those are very neat! I love how you do those decals. I'm thinking you price things very fairly at your booth and I sure wish I lived closer!
Have a good evening!

Chippy white paint with rust showing through makes me go weak at the knees...I love bottles, too. I must try the water slide decals. I love your tutorial...XO Anita
Hi Carol,
My weakness is all of the above plus a gazillion others!!!
Love the bottles with the vintage labels....so pretty.
hugs

Hi Carol,
Love these new/old bottles...and the smudged look too!
Me, do I have to write it down? Okay, here it goes...fabric, vintage, antiques, any type of needlework and colour mixing it all with fabrics, sewing...
Have a great weekend!
All the Best,
Christine
Carol
Those waterslide decals are amazing. I wish you had been able to sell them.
The bottles do look old and authenic with the rubbing you did. You have such great ideas!
Kimberly
CHOCOLATE is my first weakness!!! Then all the one you have!
One of these days I must try the water slide transfer! Your bottles look very OLD!
I hear it's in the 70's there! Nice!!!
Warmest Christmas wishes,
deb
Hi Carol!
WOW! Your vintage bottles look fantastic!
Dee

Oh beautiful! I saw them on facebook!!!!
Carol - these are fantastic!! Love them! I love stuff like this!
My vintage weakness would have to be: Vintage Suitcases!!! My collection looks like the luggage cart display at Ellis Island.

Your 100 year old looking bottles are wonderful, Carol. Rubbing off some of the decal really did make them look old and well used. Your linen cabinet is really pretty. Shannon
Gorgeous, Carol! I think they look way more than 20 years old.
I share your weaknesses: fabric, lace, buttons, bottles, glass jars...of course, there's chocolate, but I shouldn't go there - lol!
Cheers,
Tracy Screaming Sardine
just wonderful, carol! love these pretty bottles, esp. love that you rubbed some of the decals off! my weakness has to be anything with chippy white paint:)
Yes, yes, yes, I love the translucent look. LUV IT!!!
I'm going with 100 years old. They look wonderfully antique.
My weakness? I have a hard time resisting vintage and antique linens. I can't possibly use all the ones I have, and yet... I keep buying. Sigh.
They are so beautiful! I love how they look a little chippy and faded!
Jennelise
Oh Carol, I have SO many weaknesses! I'll share a few. Vintage chippy architectural pieces, windows, doors, and old toys. I could go on all night but I'll stop. lol! I love these bottles. I'm thinking more like 150 years old. I have not tried labels like that. Not sure how they work, but I just love the look. Also like that you rubbed a bit off. I can't believe that you can find wonderful bottles like that.
Wow,I love your bottles!! They look fabulous.
Kathy
Oooo I see we have the same addictions! Thank you for sharing this season of joy and pink!HPS!
Hi Carol, Great idea rubbing some of the lettering off while still wet. The bottles look fabulous and I'm sure will be snapped up quickly. The countdown is on....with just 7 days 'til Christmas. I still have a day of shopping left to do this week. The boys won't be home this year but we will still have a big family gathering at my house. Really looking forward to it. So happy that your son is coming home for a special holiday with you. xoxo
Carol, these goodies are fabulous. I love the seltzer bottles. My weakness is vintage paper and lace. Love it! Wishing you a joyful holiday season my friend! xoxo
Always love your stuff Carol. I would become a Follower if I wasn't already! ;-)
Happy Holidays from me and mine to you and yours!

See you "next year" when Brag Monday's begin again here at GF!
These are gorgeous Carol, just like everything else you do!!! I've never seen this project done with clear labels before, what a fabulous look! You are a genius!
They look gorgeous! I have a weakness for scrapbook paper...I LOVE paper. :)
These are so beautiful! I love old linens but I look at everything when I shop! You never know what you will find! ♥
Very pretty bottles! There are so many things I love...antiques, shabby, chippy, lace, ribbon, fabric....
My style is kinda farmhouse cottage if that gives you any ideas. :)
Keep up the good work. You have inspired me with many of your projects.
I wish I were closer because I would run to your booth and buy these! Gorgeous! Robin

Eeeeee! I love those bottles! I am waiting for a box of 24 old bottles to be delivered any day noe from ebay! Love this and I'm going to give it a go. Weakness, he he, we are soooo weak aren't we?! Chairs, velvet, bottles, linens, iron bed frames, I could go on and on!
Saw your bottles via The Graphics Fairy. Love the look of the clear images! Thanks for sharing.
Weaknesses: Shabby Chic, vintage rose prints, vintage typography and on and on.
I saw these on Brag Monday. They're just gorgeous! I love the transparent effect. Well done!
