and Susan for "Metamorphosis Monday" @ Between Naps on the Porch http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/2009/08/welcome-to-33rd-metamorphosis-monday.html.
I didn't have a very successful thrifting weekend. I decided to visit some new thrift shops that are south of the city but didn't come away with much.
What I did buy were six bottles for 50 cents apiece. I initially intended on using them for some more snowmen but decided to dig through my supplies and alter the bottles with a vintage flair. I used some book pages, stickers, copies of vintage postcards from my collection, lace, keys, wire and old jewelry. A simple project with not much time or money invested.
Here's a before and some after pictures.
