Glass containers Vintage inspired

You haven’t!   Well check out these vintage wine bottles.

I was so inspired with the whole vignette that plans for our Thanksgiving buffet table may look similar, just at a bargain basement price.

Above is the only item I’ve bought so far.  A square pitcher from our grocery store on sale at half price for $15.

I used the silhouette cameo to cut out the words water, wine, and give thanks plus a few scrolls.

Forgive me now.  Because I love decorating, moving things around, using things in different ways and at different times of the year…I wanted this to be a temporary design.

So I used plain o’ craft paint.  It will simply wash off after turkey day.

If I wanted the designs to stick around I could use glass paint or permanent “paint” markers.  Above you can see a bit of the gold scroll added above “water.”  In the finished photo you can see I added a dark brown to the scroll.

The wine carafe already has our logo done about 3 years ago with glass paint.  I had a wooden ball from a thrift shop lamp to add to the top.

Now here’s the other side…you can see the logo through the glass.

This big guy will get a base of some rustic sort by Thanksgiving.  I didn’t worry about perfection {usually perfection is waaaaayyy down on my list of concerns:)}

Simply using two sizes of paint brushes and every finger I have to hold down the stencil on the round glass, I painted.  The glass, the counter, and Bella.

Some of the wonkiness of the painting was also due to Bella jumping up every time I kneeled down to paint.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

The square container will get water, the wine carafe, wine…but any ideas for the big guy?

I thought about tossing in dinner rolls but would that be weird?
