    Like the idea of decopatch..........is that specifically for glass ? I stuck the labels on my wine bottles with PVA glue and that did the trick. They were just ordinary images I found on the internet. Old adverts for spices would look good

  • I cant sleep sometimes for all the ideas in my head... I find having a notepad and pen on my bedside cabinet helps to get the ideas down... I sketch designs and write notes about each idea... OH says I`m really sweet... I interpret that as "you are crazy woman" hehe!

    Think OH's given up trying on me...............everything I look at he assumes is something to do with a hamper or some sort.
    Still, he suggested the wine bottle bubble bath and when I cleared out our old kitchen dresser this afternoon (hopefully new old pine one arriving tomorrow morning and will squeeze through our kitchen door else I'll have to put everything back) I found a tiny little bottle one of the girls in our care did a few years back. She had a set for decorating little bottles (think I bought it for her) and she'd put little glitter patterns on thisone and given it to me. Fancy me forgetting I'd got it..........expect it got shoved in the cupboard for one reason or another. There's no cork to it though..........I think you can buy separate corks anyway can't you ? If I can then there's another little bubble bath treat for a hamper.

    That looks lovely poppy..............haven't got to the 'ribbon and label' stage with mine yet - they're upstairs in the spare room with all the other bits and pieces for baskets..........all except four smaller ones. Managed to get the oil residue out of the little oil bottles OH gave me from the kitchen and two olive oil bottles took care of the remainder of the blue bubble bath.
    The other little oil bottles, quite pretty shapes, have got some lavender bubble bath in that OH won in a raffle. Just need to put some ribbon round them. The olive oil bottles need a little label and I found a picture of lavender off the internet so I'll stick that on.
    When I googled images of 'vintage baths' I got some lovely pictures that are perfect for the green wine bottles and it'll stop anyone pouring it into a glass............lol
