My Bottle Collection - The Whole of It

in homesteadersonline •  7 years ago

A few days ago I took everything off my shelves my Grandpa Buster made for all his kids and grandkids before he passed a few years ago. I love these shelves. They're very sturdy, durable, and made with love. Grandma Buster drew the design for the cuts in the front. I decided to fill them with my bottle collection this time. I put everything else away in a box, to go to storage.
I arranged the bottles first by color and then by size. Taller bottles went on the top shelves and shorter ones on the bottom ones. They're all clean, and dust free. I really like the way they look. Enjoy!

There are 76 bottles on the shelves with very few duplicates. 30 clear bottles, 12 blue, 22 amber, and 12 green.


Thanks for checking this out. I hope you like what I've done with my collection. If you have any suggestions of how I might rearrange them in the future, tell me! I'd love to hear about what you collect and how you display your collection for others to enjoy.

    The bottles are very cool on the shelves made by your grandparents. We used to go bottle hunting around here, because so many people in days gone by would just throw their bottles into a heap in the back yard. It was a fun way to wander through the woods.

    I do love digging through those heaps. What I don't enjoy are the ant nests you find in them!!!

      I like what you did here!! And the pictures you took!! You are so creative sometimes, still waiting to see what you re going to come up with for all of your prints from shutterfly!!
      I really like the blue ones, I wonder if you can find cork sizes that fit them all? Sorry I haven't been on to keep up with you, I'm going to try harder!! Glad you found a beautiful way to display your collection. Lots of hard work went into that!! It shows!

            That is an amazing collection of glass bottles!
            I love walking through "old time' stores or museums and seeing their collections; and yours definitely rivals any that I have seen.

                Great collection @hethur240 and lovely arrangement! I don't understand throwing these items away when 1. they're so useful and 2. they make wonderful decorations. I hope this post inspires people to do the same!

                I use quite a few in my household to hold trinkets, or bathroom items. I have found corks for a few, as you can see. I'm hoping to find more to fit more so I can use them! Thanks for stopping by, @woman-onthe-wing!

                      They do take up a lot of room. Finding a place for them when they wobble so they don't fall off the shelf was a challenge itself! Thank you, @abbijulie! I hope you've had a great weekend!
