Dark amber S.N. bottle

Currently: SOLD
My first Simply Nouveau labeled bottle!

This is a dark amber glass with purple grapes and a chocolate bow that ties in nicely with the cream and charcoal tones of my new labels.

Green King Estate with Label

Currently: SOLD

My friend, Patrick said that drinking this Gwertz from King Estate is like "drinking flowers". I would have to agree. Now, with the help of some twinkly lights, this bottle of wine is like looking at flowers too. Prettyyyyyy.

My Own Labels

I needed some labels to apply to my wine bottles. I like the plain ones, but there is also definately an appeal to the ones with the labels still on them. Having been unsucessful at obtaining an alleged "label remover" I read about online, I came up with another solution...

I went to a neat little website I found by accident called My Own Labels (http://www.myownlabels.com/). They were great, easy to use, and they print up a fantastic product. It's so professional looking. They have all kinds of styles and then they have at least five color choices of each label. I went with some smaller labels, about the same size as Benton Lane uses. They are secretly supposed to be for baked goods, but the actual wine labels were bigger than I wanted anyway.

Laurel Ridge bottle

Currently: SOLD (to another Laurel Ridge lover, along with another super cool bottle I didn't have a chance to take a picture of!)

One of the few bottles that I kept the label on, this bottle came from Laurel Ridge in Carlton, Oregon. My favorite vinyard.

Green Erath bottle

Currently: SOLD

This was a bottle of Pinot from Erath vinyards. Though the wine was a delight, the bottle was a stubborn project. However, I refused to be thwarted by an unruly wine bottle and my efforts prevailed at last!

Bottle lantern project

My newest project as of late.

I'm trying to configure a lantern out of the wine bottles I'm making.

I've tried hanging it around the house in different spots. I bought a set of Christmas lights to attach it to, instead of using an extention chord.

Finally, I decided I liked it the best in the kitchen window, above the sink. It makes a great nightlight and the extention chord hides behind the ugly curtains.

Whiskey bottle for Jr.

This Woodford bottle was a gift for our friend John, who joined us for Christmas this year.

Nothing says 'classy guy' like a whiskey bottle filled with lights.

Amber glass bottle

Currently: SOLD

I've sold a couple of these so far and am getting orders for sets of more. They are my personal favorite too, the amber glass is so unique and the only vinyard I know of that uses it, is in Oregon.
