Wine Bottle Find

Last week, I only managed to make it to one yard sale before we headed out-of-town for the weekend. I spent a few dollars on some very random finds. My favorite was this large green wine bottle. It's 14" tall. I thought it had a great shape and I love the color. And best of all, it was only 25 cents!





Today, I'm glancing through the Pottery Barn catalog and saw these - Found Oversized Wine Bottles, 10" to 24" tall and ranging in price from $99 to $279. Yes, you read that right, $99 to $279.









Now, these bottles are really cool. And I love Pottery Barn. But seriously, would anyone really spend that much for a big green bottle? I don't know. But now I'm really excited about my 25 cent find! And because Pottery Barn is filled with great ideas, I went outside for a branch from my Japanese maple tree to give my bottle the attention it deserved.




Still not worth $99, but I think it looks pretty good. You just never know what you'll find out there or where your next inspiration will come from!

    It is hard to believe that someone would actually pay that much! I have gotten most of mine from Scott's Antique Market for about $18-$30 depending on the size and shape. BUT...14 cents is the best deal ever!!!

    That is a GREAT find!! I love those green bottles, but would never spend the PB price. You can't beat 25 cents that's for sure!

    You are right, PB has some great ideas, but that is so overpriced. Yeah for you for such a good find and a keen eye.

    Your bottle looks great, but $99... even as a fan of Pottery Barn, I couldn't spend that!

    What a pretty bottle! But $99? That's just insane. You got yours for 25 cents and it's just as pretty as theirs. Take that, Pottery Barn!

    You have GOT to be $$$$$ kidding me! I have some green bottles I didn't know what to do with. Nearly dead ringers for some of those. Gaaah!!! Off to stick twigs and water in them! :)

    Yours is wonderful!

    Awesome! I love the beautiful golden Maples leaves in the bottle! Don't you just love for Pottery Barn to come along and affirm that something is awesome, even though you knew it all along!

    Holy cow! I wonder what the markup is on those PB bottles! I think it looks great and just exactly like the catalog.

    Great buy and you saved yourself a bunch of money! lol...NO, I would not be spending that kind of money on a green wine bottle but 25 cents is more my style.
