One Hundred Eighty Bottles Hung On The Ceiling! You've Got To See This!

{{THERE ARE 180 BOTTLES SUSPENDED HERE!
THESE ARE THREE OF OUR BOTTLE RACKS TURNED INTO
THE MOST AMAZING CHANDELIERS!}}

So... we sell these fabulous reproduction FRENCH BOTTLE DRYING RACKS...

You know the ones...




Well just look at what a local restaurant did with the three they ordered from us!!

These beauties now hang in THE most fabulous place to eat in the
Tampa Bay area --- DATZ DELI & FOODIE'S MARKET


They bought the three racks from us a while back but then had to wait...
and wait...
and wait...
until they had 180 matching bottles to suspend on the 60 prongs-per-rack.

They wired the racks with what looks like tube lighting and...

VOILA! 

Some of the most amazing light fixtures.

 They are  PERFECT for their fabulous 
restaurant/deli/gourmet food market 
(there really aren't enough words to describe all that this place really is!).


{{By the way, they even have a whole separate blog
with ALL KINDS of recipes!!
CLICK HERE TO GO!}}

You can also look them up on FACEBOOK


I am so excited to see the pictures now that the chandeliers are done BUT I plan to go see them 
IN PERSON in the next week!

(We went for dinner a week or two ago and JUST MISSED seeing them
hung -- so we will just HAVE to go back, huh?  

It's tough work, but SOMEONE'S gotta do it, right?
(HEE HEE!) 


To see another sweet customer's crafty way of turning this item
into a light fixture, check out this blog post from last year to see how
Donna turned one into yet another amazing fixture!

My Dear Ruthie,
Have you begun to think I've fallen off the face of the earth??? Remember when I said I would be ordering the new Jeanne D'Arc magazine?? Well a newer one is probably out by now!! Honey I haven't forgotten. I feel like I'm running in quicksand. I have been thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful weekend, considering it is Father's day I was thinking of you and your dad. I hope he is well. I hope you will be spending time enjoying his company at some point for a celebration. Just know I am thinking of you and I loved your comments about how much are resourceful dads were alike :) I'm sure both of us growing up like that we could probably share a lot of similar stories. I knew that's why I like you!! Ha ha

Well, I just wanted to come say hi and tell you I am thinking of you this weekend and that I have not forgotten about you!! My baby graduates today, so I have lots to do. I will be in touch when I have a little more time to chat! I owe you an e-mail!
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's day to your dad and hubby!Don't work too hard spoiling them..he he :)
XoXo
Gail
BTW....I'm loving those chandeliers!!

Hi Ruth!
I once upon a time built a chandy form one of your drying racks!

It's amazing!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Donna
