Decorating with Demijohn Bottles and a Giveaway!

The first handful of spring-like days arrived and I wanted to work something blooming into my decor.  So I polished up my Lady Jane Bottleneck vase from Willow House and popped three {silk} blooming cherry stems in...




This is modeled after the old demijohn bottles, used in Europe for bottling and storing wine and oils.  The one I have is our smaller version.



I love how you can see the bubbles and slight irregularities in the glass.  Each one is hand-blown.




And the delicate green is just the right touch for early spring.  Our larger version is tinted blue.



My Willow House vases are priced just right, too--$49.96 and $79.96. Click HERE for ordering information.

I also found these online:


Ballard Designs

Pottery Barn

I found several images of the demijohn bottles used in decor over at Houzz.  Head over there to check out my ideabook for more inspiration.  But be sure to come back here because....

  1. I would place it on a table in front of a large mirror in a little sitting area in the kitchen. I would definitely want to pick up some branches with blossoms for it, too

  6. this is too great - i just pulled out a willow house advertisement out of real simple magazine today to check it out; i've never heard of it today!!!

    if i was to win this amazing little bottle i would rest it on my windowsill over my kitchen sink. the afternoon light shines in while i'm cooking dinner & washing dishes -- perhaps some fresh cherry blossoms would be appropriate as we welcome spring!

  13. I don't want to miss this fun so I'm joining in too!

    I think I would take it to my lake house where the beautiful green glass will be complimented by the natural landscape and evergreens seen through the many windows.
