Mt. Dora Tease


Since I don't have time tonight to complete my blog about our trip to Renningers Mt. Dora Extravaganza, I thought I'd tease you with one of my sister's finds.

.
These mercury glass bottles date back to the early 1900's and were said to be used to store health enhancing potions. Karla snatched up her favorite. I'll show you more cool stuff from this same booth in my complete recap of our day at Mt. Dora!


She had the perfect spot for it in her master bath.

Be sure to check out the Junk Revolution Community message boards. Lots of cool stuff going on. I am learning how to do a mosaic project!

Peace,
Ki

    It looks like you're having so much fun. Plus, it's warm! I sat in a hockey arena all weekend and I'm still cold. Can't wait to see pics from the rest of your day. Krista

    oh my gosh, you're my kind of adventurous traveler. how fun! i love the mercury glass bottles your sister found.
    the photo of the wind farm is great. we have a wind farm near us and i've taken several photos also, because they have changed our landscape for sure.
    enjoy your time with your family.

    Ki-thanks for the post on the salvage studio blog - I have been drooling over the Restoration Home book - I want to rip out my kitchen and start over! And thanks for the comment on the salvage studio book - hope you found a copy in Florida! I get down to Florida on a regular basis with extended family there but have never made it to Mt.Doro - will look forward to your adventures. And I love your Junk Revolution site - its the right mix of playfulness with style!

    Now, that looks like the kind of shopping trip I like. Forget the malls, show me the junk.

    Love the mercury glass bottle. She has displayed it so nicely.
