The bottle trees come from myths in Africa, and they catch evil spirits and prevent them from entering the house. So no one has to go to town, and the house is evil free, and the trees look beautiful...<br /><br />http://lewisginter.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/gardening-for-love-and-nostalgia-podcast-with-felder-rushing/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065689076495630286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-61586540516799290022011-08-29T20:52:56.823+08:002011-08-29T20:52:56.823+08:00Amazing!

...Bets, THANK YOU for your BEAUTIFUL comments ! :)<br /><br />As I have explained in an earlier comment, the bottles are made using Christmas light bulbs. I did them long ago. Not difficult at all. What I didn't do was put labels on them because I wasn't sure bottles of the late 1800- early 1900 in India have labels and if they do, how they would look like. Without labels, it is harder to tell if they are bottles or candles ;).<br /><br />Well, I did some research and found out that they do have labels and I solve the look and feel by tearing and aging these labels so they are illegible :). Again , not difficult at all. <br /><br />I have about 75 of these light bulbs left :). If ever you need some aged bottles for your garden, Bets, you know where to ask.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-1598803788416681482011-08-29T13:41:04.635+08:002011-08-29T13:41:04.635+08:00Grace, I am really curious about New Mexico now.
