Milk Bottles and Jam Jars

Happy Sunday Evening!





I Was just flicking through some friends piccies of our wedding, here is a wee start on some of the ceremony site details. I have developed over the past 2 years a true love of old bottles, milk bottles, medicine bottles you name it!! Through that has come a love of pottering around antique and second hand shops all around the country, on honeymoon we were pretty lucky not to return with an old wooden butter churn and rice/drain sieve!! So imagine my absolute delight when we first visited the Thomas Brown Art Gallery in Arrowtown. This gorgeous whitewash brick interior building was the site of an original dairy and cheese factory, it has amazing character, presence and natural light - fantastic for showcasing Thomas's vibrant work. It also holds many treasures like these old milk bottles...perfect to fit with our collected bottles and jars! We also spent hours wiring jam jars into lanterns and vases to hang over white chairs - our florist Sarah did an amazing job to 'bring spring indoors'!
