Made a small change to one of the tables in my living room. I added this antique green bottle that my mom just gave me. She's had it displayed in her kitchen above one of her cabinets. I kept bugging her how much I loved it and I guess my persistence payed off because she gave in and gave it to me :) It was given to her as a house warming gift 43 years ago. It's a mineral water bottle from Buffalo.
It looked to bare by itself so I added a few twigs to it.
Here's what was there before.
Here's a close up.
Still my favorite french painting that I purchased from Ann http://onsuttonplace.blogspot.com/
Have a great week and stay cool! As always I appreciate and look forward to your visits!

Martina,
The green bottle is stunning in your vignette, dear! I, like you, adore the sheep print. The hues in the print are more defined with the change in accessories!
Fondly,
Pat

What a beautiful bottle, Martina! I love how it pops against your neutral wall, and the twigs are a great addition to it, as well! I know your Mom is happy that you're enjoying it! xo
That is just gorgeous Martina! Now I'm missing my mom even more...she and my dad were here for a week long visit and just left today and that is totally the kind of thing she does! What a treasure to have. :-)
That's a wonderful old bottle Martina. It looks perfect where you have it.
The bottle is wonderful and that painting completely caught my eye - it is amazing!
HI Martina!
LOVE the green bottle... such an unusual shade of green. I can see why you were an admirerer for a while!
It looks great next to your lamb painting, but I did not know Ann sells paintings???
How did I miss that?
Such a pretty vignette,
Thanks for sharing!

It's beautiful. Someday your daughter will probably bug you for it and you will pass it on to her because that is what moms do :). x Sharon
