Vintage Art Bottles

🌸Welcome to Vintage Art Bottles🌸 My name is Shirley 🌸 I live in the suburb of Waterfall, nestled inland from Durban, South Africa. I absolutely love to create, and one of my greatest joys is collecting glass bottles from thrift shops — including our local SPCA — and transforming them into magnificence!💫 Every adornment is a treasure hunt of collected jewels, layered paint techniques, decoupage, and curious little odds & ends that bring each theme to life. So much love is poured into every single bottle. Each one is carefully created from the heart and given its own name, because each carries a unique, meaningful essence. It’s not just any bottle... it was created in Love.🌸 I work from my little wooden cabin at home, tucked under a canopy of trees where birds flutter through the branches. Their chirps and tweets are so delightful — truly healing. My Malinois fur angel, Sasha, lies on her little mattress under my work table, keeping me company while I create. My Alsatian boy, Caesar, prefers to rest just outside, but he’s always close by, part of it all. If you welcome one of my bottles into your home, know it will be a unique statement piece — a beautiful work of art to adorn your special space. I would love to hear from you if you purchase a bottle — tell me how you are enjoying it. Please feel free to drop me a message. Much love, from my heart all the way into yours. Happiest Day 🌸 Shirley 🌸
