A little magic in a bottle ~

I've had this wonderful, old bottle for awhile now

(just like most of my stash, you know I love to keep stuff around me for a tiny bit!)

and finally decided to do something with it.

I found a neat old cabinet knob that would work perfectly for the top too ~

First, it was filled with neat old buttons, vintage pearls, lace and goodies.

Then I placed one simple word inside too ~

The word?

"Cherish"

This is the back ~

Plus for the first time, I soldered the knob on!

I've made soldered charms before so I used the same method

and layered the solder on and aged it.

I know everyone's made these, but it was really neat to be able to

attach the knob to the glass!

And you know I had to work in a watch face!

This bottle looks huge in these photos but it's a mere 4 1/2" tall!

I've just added the new little treasure to my Etsy store ~

I've been enthralled with angel wings lately...

They can be found HERE!!!

Miss Minnie Louise is slowly but surely coming around.

The sweet girl has had a huge transition and it's just going to take a little time.

I've been treating her like a queen!

Sometimes when she gets a little playful,

she'll stop and remember she's supposed to be mad!

She sure loves her new mouse toy :)

Wishing you a wonderful Monday precious friends!

hugs and love,

Dawn
