I was ready for a new centerpiece on my dining room table...something light and summery!
Sooo…over several recent visits to Goodwill, I have managed to accumulate the perfect solution…a collection of wickerwork bottles! (That furry blur is Baby Kitty exiting stage left!)
I love those wonderful demijohns that I have been seeing in my favorite antique store…but they are expensive and the scale is just wrong for my small house! So when I found these, I knew I had just what I needed. Baby Kitty reminds me to tell you that I spent a total of $6.00 for all five bottles! Woo hoo! Now that’s my kind of bargain!
And here’s how they look on my dining room table! I love the look…fresh and summery just as I had hoped for! Let me introduce you to my new little loves…
…starting with this one that I have shown you before. It’s actually a vintage rum bottle from Puerto Rico…fun! The little wicker cap comes off…see? And the original owner was kind enough to leave the label intact! 
The square bottle is now the home of some ivy I have been rooting since last fall. It was in a Mason jar on the kitchen table, but I like its new container and new location better! I added a little raffia bow.
Gotta love this mismatched pair…for oil and vinegar, I presume. I love it that they still have their corks!
And finally, a little jug that may have held syrup…so cute! I cut one of my hydrangea blooms to fill it.
It is actually a lace cap that I have had in my yard for a while now, but it’s looking less lacy over the years. The color, however, has become more intense.
Here’s a final look. Not bad for a handful of Goodwill bargains and some cuttings from the yard, huh?Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my wickerwork bottle centerpiece !

I LOVE your collection of "wickerwork" bottles. I'm a beachy girl anyway (living in Kansas) and these are right there with me. The blue platter they are on is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteNice collection, Debbie! Love the blue transfer ware underneath them, too.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, the wicker wrapped bottles look great all corralled on your blue and white platter. I love the texture these bottles offer. I have a few small vintage ones that I found in France last fall. They are fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI love your finds from the GW. I love my Goodwill. I love the French Country influence. I will be looking for those cute wicker items too.

What a beautiful centerpiece they make! Love them all BUT REALLY (((LOVE))) the addition of Baby Kitty(who also matches the colors of the vignette).
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,
Donna
So pretty Debbie, I love it! That last pic with your hutch in the background is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteWow, great finds, Debbie! I can't believe you found all of them at Goodwill. You've got some really nice things at yours. Great new centerpiece for under $10.00!
ReplyDeleteit all looks great to me.. I need to go look up keeping ivy in water like that:-)
ReplyDeleteThey look just Lovely...great price for them...It is a nice fresh look...and very summery...Janice
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is beautiful! You definitely scored when you found your wonderful wicker bottles!
ReplyDeleteI just love your wicker wrapped bottles! What a lucky find! I know just what you mean about demi johns, I dearly love them, but not the price! I found a vintage wicker wrapped bottle a few years ago at a garage sale. Love yours displayed on your pretty platter:)
ReplyDeleteNot bad? It is wonderful. Your bargains are just great and make a wonderful setting. Just beautiful. Ummm...I'm assuming you did NOT find the LIVE part of your centerpiece at GW? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hydrangea! Someday I'll have a lacecap...
ReplyDeleteYour wickerwork bottles were a great deal! I've only ever been aware of their existence since blogging. A blogger who really loves them calls them demijohns??
Hi Carol...Thanks! I think these are too small to qualify as demijohns, but they are just the right size for my little house! :-)...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteIt is all truly beautiful but my favorite is Baby Kitty. I love the tilt of the head and the placement of the front paws is just so perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely - all very lovely.
Thanks for sharing.
Very cute pieces and such a bargain, too!
ReplyDeleteI really do love the look of this whole thing, from the blue tray to anchor it right on up. The fact that you were able to get the whole look without spending the big bucks makes it even better.
ReplyDeleteThe wicker pieces are perfect with that platter...you do have great luck at Goodwill!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great finds. I can't believe you found them at the Goodwill. I must find some of these. They are so fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a deal! I love that you were able to find a version that fit the scale of your home. Your hydrangea is beautiful- I really thought it was a silk bloom!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole thing, Debbie. It was fun to be there where you found all those goodies! Love the whole centerpiece - well put together! Linda
ReplyDeleteLove the new centerpiece! You do have such good luck at your GW!! Baby Kitty always makes me smile. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, looks great! What a bargain, too. Yes, scale is important! The blue and white platter really enhances them too!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
barbara
Love all of your wicker bottles, how fun are they. Great finds and I really love the arrangement. The one with the stopper is so unusual and I love the small ones also. Thanks for linking to TTT. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI think your bottles are adorable! You did well putting them together. I have to say....I'm so drawn towards the ivy. We don't have it in SW Florida. I know visiting in Virginia I saw it as ground coverage in shady areas. I've been looking for it in stores, but no success here. Don't know if it could handle the heat and humidity of Florida.
I love those bottles Debbie and have seen not one single one around here!:-(
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is beautiful. The last shot with the china cabinet in the background is wonderful.
You have a real knack for putting things together artfully and it's a lovely centerpiece. My favorite bit is Baby Kitty.
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is beautiful. I'm thinking I might need a collection of these bottles! Wonderful texture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful centerpiece and at such a great price!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness! I am IN LOVE with all your wicker bottles! I keep seing all the BARGAINS that people find at GW, but our GW never has a thing that is good.....except what I take ther:):):). Love all your blue and white on your hutch too. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty--I really like it, and love that it didn't cost you a lot--well done!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO very pretty. Love the way the blue platter sets the bottle off and contrsts with the flowers & ivy. I never seem to have much luck at our Goodwill, but it's obvious that you definitely do!
ReplyDeleteYour wickerwork bottle collection is wonderful, and you can't beat the price! Definitely adds that summertime feel to your table. I think the simplest centerpieces are often the best.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
I can't believe that's all you spent on those bottles! How come everyone's GW is better than mine? My favorite part is the "live" ivy. It looks so much better than faux (even I am guilty of going fake!). The platter sets off the bottles perfectly.

Great finds! Love what you did with them.
ReplyDeleteLove your wicker bottles...I recently picked some up at the GW too..your prices was much better...Love what you did with them...I did something similar on my dining room table :) love your colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of wicker covered bottles...I'm like you and not wanting to spend an arm and a let for the antique ones. Yours are really neat and I love the way you paired them with the blue and white.
