A rusty old pitchfork with a broken handle made a good base for refurbishing
my bottle tree. I fashioned a holder using some pipe stuck into the clothesline
pole holder, temporarily until I need the clothesline.
Some of the bottles hang from little wire slings.
None will collect water upside down.
I never tire of the little faces of Violas, brave against the cold.
Rain tonight for sure; freeze again Friday night.

What a great way to use an old pitchfork. Love those gorgeous little Violas too!
ReplyDeleteSometimes there is an advantage to being a hoarder, uh, collector.
DeleteVery clever!! I like the pitchfork being used to hold the bottles.
ReplyDeleteThank, Janet. I'm almost as fond of rust as I am of glass. Together they're great!
DeleteNeilJean,
ReplyDeleteI really like your new header. Interesting bottle tree too, great re use here. I saw these bottle flowers one day I'll try to make. It looked like a round ball of bottles on a stick very cool.
Fun project, Randy. I look forward to seeing bottle flowers on a stick.
DeleteDear Nell Jean, Brilliant way to display your bottles. I think I'm going to steal that idea! P. x
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Pam. We both need a bottle tree to capture the haints.
DeleteThat is the most amazing shade of blue! Seeing a color like that, be it bottle or pretty flower, just has to make one smile!
ReplyDeleteHi Nell Jean,
ReplyDeleteYes, we have a parallel universe going here. I use the pitchfork top and you use the bottoms. I had two old metal pitchforks and could not bear to throw them away! I figured the blue bottle garden is so crazy already that a few pitchforks wouldn't matter. David/ :0)
