WOW!!!! Linda that is awesome I just love all the different things you have done. Love the idea of the wine holders hanging.
OH No!!!! I feel another addiction coming on!!!

Hugs, Carmen

EXCELLENT!!! What Eye Candy!!! Good Job!!!

That is strange terrain. Does your yard go uphill or downhill from you house? I love blue bottles, (well any bottles) even if I am sometimes labeled "redneck." I can come here for genuine appreciation

Here are some more blue bottles I scored at the recycle yard today after I posted.

Here's the succulent behind the bottles. This guy has grown very large while being completely ignored.

This is a good portion of my back yard. The tree at the top, right of center is a pencil cactus tree. They can get really large here. Glad I planted it about 5 inches from the fence. Duh!! The landscape will be even more strange by the time I'm finished with it, lol. There's been a little progress since this photo.

This is what the yard looked like a few years ago.

Love the blue bottles and I can't wait to see what you end up doing with that steep incline! Great idea using the odd wine bottle holders in the garden too.

Great and creative bottle displays!

Blue bottles are looking good!! Love that fat 1 in bottles you just got!! Nice to see some healthy plants!, my roses are all blooming again!! Spring bulbs are up & daffodils are about 8 in. tall, hope they don't freeze when it gets colder. Looks like you will be busy getting the back yard in as it gets spring. No more pool care or worrying about falling in empty one. Pools are a big expense & most aren't used very much. You have lots of ground to "play" with now, keep us posted!! Jan

You really are in blue bottle heaven, aren't you?? They look awesome! And the succulent behind your latest bottle scores is just BEAUTIFUL!!!

WOW, sewandsew! Love all your blue bottle creations! With all that CA sunshine WARM weather, the glass looks spectacular! Great idea recycling the fence & bottle holders!

Yeah, I did notice the boards on your chain link...and I thought, OHHHH, I think she's working on the dog-earred fence! Just had to give you a little bit of a hard time! You are making great progress with your yard!

TFS pics! Jeanne S. ..awesome succulent!

WOW, I love them all!! They're such a stunning shade of blue.
I'm afraid to put anything glass in my garden as it gets so hot a dry here that I'm worried it might start a fire. I've put my glass bird feeder that I made out there but it's in a really shady spot.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations!
(((hugs)))

Hey! Now I remember who I'm talking to! I worked on adding 100 more tires to my sloping path down to the back 1/2 of my yard, still not done, gotta put a few more down, then a top coat of gravel, maybe a small retaining wall of landscaping ties, did get about 300 new plants planted back there, and a bottle tree!

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:130124}}

Thanks for the inspiration! I was given some blue bottles but didn't know what I was going to do with them!! Now I do. TFS.Good job.

I seem to remember a bottle house somewhere along the main route through Victorville years ago... wonder if it's still there. Your bottles are beautifully displayed... I love my trees.

Am bumping this up for "blue bottle" ideas! Love sewandsew's creations here! I've collected a few & am working out (mentally) a project! Jeanne S.

Speaking of "blue bottles" I forgot to mention on my "post" about the "JOY" sign, on the Salvage blog there is a blue bottle rain chain & a blue bottle & cement planter in a circle. So if you have some left over that is something to use them up. The rain chain looks like it would be really cool!! Jan

Love the hardware that you use to hang all those beautiful blue bottles.

Hi. Am new here. Have been lurking for awhile. Just love everyone's garden art. What is the Salvage blog? I saw the rain chain but am trying to see the planter.

Suesarge, go to the post I wrote that is" JOY sign" towards the end of the messages garden2garden put the link & just click on that to get to it.It it's their Salvage site then go to right & click on the blog as that is where all the good stuff is. Blue bottle rain chain, blue bottle & cement planter, easy chair(recliner)planted & with a pillow, truck covered with a garden, etc, also pics of shop they had full of antiques. Have fun! Jan

Going to be quite the endeavor!!
And i love the bottles in the cork screws..

Great stuff there, Linda. And that succulent is gorgeous!
