I love my new bottle tree.  I wanted one because it reminded me of the one my Big Mama had when I was a little girl.   I always got to spend a week or two with her over summer break.  This was such a special time...a time I learned to cook, can, garden, churn, take care of chickens and cows and many more lost arts.  My favorite activity; however, was to careful remove the bottles from her bottle tree and wash, rinse  and dry them and help her hang them.  I got to choose the placement of the beautiful colors.  What a beautiful sight!!!
