Old World Home Furnishings: bottles

Happy Memorial day everyone and a HUGE thank you to all the veterans who have served and do serve to protect us all. Since we are officially now ushering in Summer (but I think Mother Nature didn't get the memo:):), I have been wanting to change up and lighten up the mantle. I used my new bottles with the white flowers for height. I love the 10 foot ceilings we have here! I may just be on the lookout for a new picture for here too, but for now this one blends in fine.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1SlEJbFCB4bv4Yz7ol4IQDM9s0S_YvkbvnIvuyMc6zlsVYe9m60odjPmzecgRJ6GkfGvoWer2_-_xlNA4U2DJ-_Ob19BJ7B4DxCm6cpLaADe1yUEY3wL1oaIvs880GM7hFeVXBtKmrd4V/s1600/IMG_0193.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1SlEJbFCB4bv4Yz7ol4IQDM9s0S_YvkbvnIvuyMc6zlsVYe9m60odjPmzecgRJ6GkfGvoWer2_-_xlNA4U2DJ-_Ob19BJ7B4DxCm6cpLaADe1yUEY3wL1oaIvs880GM7hFeVXBtKmrd4V/s640/IMG_0193.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The whte flowers really pop against the stone.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdtDpYGcNszX47yi5d1LyDZu9-jQd0AgappafNlb7y2XHBQ_ZKf7V4M2SZ0ATKZg_C7u4vsH8UqgFYh2VP22z82zp5qbISKMrErAEIhYJrBG27O1LKyLNiqqVKbsKfPutNpvz1Y71_eGy/s1600/IMG_0194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdtDpYGcNszX47yi5d1LyDZu9-jQd0AgappafNlb7y2XHBQ_ZKf7V4M2SZ0ATKZg_C7u4vsH8UqgFYh2VP22z82zp5qbISKMrErAEIhYJrBG27O1LKyLNiqqVKbsKfPutNpvz1Y71_eGy/s640/IMG_0194.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I wanted to accent with some blue and white pieces from my collection.
