I figured I'd better get busy ,with only an hour to go....Laur mentioned the deadline to me, and we thought this might be kind of cool.... A few ambers in front of the old outhouse...
If I get 3 people here to 2nd a motion to continue the contest for another 24 hours, I will do it. I didn't hide this deadline from anyone but I know we don't all check in every day.. []
I second it! I don't have anymore pics but this thread has brought out so many good pics and bottles I want to see more! My favorite bottle so far would be joes hammer whittled flask...
And now.....for my winning entry[][][]. I call this my winning entry because each bottle means so much to me. The Carter's Cathedral Ink was the first bottle Jamie bought after we got married (which by the was was 21 years ago today. Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!) The ink was the bottle that taught me how beautiful antique glass could be. The Holy Water bottle is one of the unique ones in my small collection, and I love it. The Violin bottle is the only one we have left from our extensive collection of fiddles and banjos that we had at one time. I think those bottles are so beautiful. The tiny, open pontiled cathedral is one of my favorites from Jamie's collection. That leaves the blue flask. It's not an old bottle. In fact it's a reproduction that sat on the bedroom shelf of my best friend from high school, Martha Ayers. Martha passed away several years back, from lung cancer (never smoked a day in her life), and I aquired this from her estate sale. It has a special place in my collection and in my heart. I wish I could have included one more because it would have been the big, beautiful, olive colored case gin that I was sent along with a few other bottles this past Christmas from the person who got my name. Yes, siree, this is my winning entry because win or lose, it represents the beauty, love and kindness of all the friends I've met on here. Though monetarily poor, I am so rich for having known all of you. Good Luck everyone!
I second it too. Everyone should have a chance to contribute and I know how weird things can happen, like all the batteries being dead in your camera and backup.
