Black & White love- vases

01.25.10 Posted in Holiday, Homemade stuff by Vicky

I am thrilled to be sharing one more project from our recycled-bottles-that-I-just-cannot-let-go-of today. After we finished with our Thanksgiving Centerpiece and our Advent Wreath I was supposed to throw these bottles out, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

We are focusing this year on celebrating the complete season of Advent so it seemed necessary to have a [...]
