G'day and Happy Friday. Any plans for the weekend? We have a relatively free weekend, kiddos' regular activities aside and I am cooking up an adventure for Sunday, not sure whether or not it will happen but I really fancy a daytrip…
Do you like my collection of vintage bottles? I found the tall one recently treasure hunting and was getting this little grouping together ready as vases for something behind the scenes that I am working on, had put them on the table filled with water and had gone to grab my coffee from the kitchen…and walked in on a beautiful Northern light coming in through the windows on the water filled bottles. Ahhh.
I don't deny that I am probably rather bold in saying I think these look absolutely stunning, and that I love them just as they are…simple, unassuming, undressed with a vintage twist..a bit like me at the moment as I sit here in my jarmies…:-)
Vintage bottles are consistently on my Beach Cottage Most Wanted List…they cannot really fail to please, I'm surprised actually, though, how rarely I come across them and yep I know it'd be seconds to stick a search into Ebay, but that just isn't the same for me. You know it. I want the chase.
I love their lines, the thickness of the glass, the muted scuffed up colours…I love them stacked up on the modern open shelving in the breakfast room…even when they're not in use they seem to just have that ability to look good on their own…and I relish any decor that's made up of little effort. Don't you?
Anyway I have to fly, this cottage looks like a bomb went off, the laundry is, ahem, piled high and I am going, at long last, to get my hair done this arvo…
See you next time
**last chance to comment/Tweet/Facebook for Lisa Leonard's generous giveaway**
I have a few old bottles too, and I know what you mean, it’s the thrill of the hunt. I usually come across them by chance, while just looking at “things”. Who’d have thought they’d look so pretty just sitting there with water in them. You have such a good eye!
Blessings,
Marcia
Love them. The blue one pops out at me too since I recently picked up 6 blue mason jars at an auction. I probably paid too much, it was my first auction. But I don’t like losing!
I know exactly what you mean. Somethings, I do find on ebay, but somehow, when you find it in person, it seems more like it is meant to be. The best bottle I ever found actually has my last name on it. I just happened across it. Meant to be for sure.
I have a lovely collection of vintage bottles, milk bottles & mason jars (a couple of the aqua ones-covet!) They are displayed on our transoms until needed for fresh blooms. We have a very old farmhouse and a couple of the bottles were discovered when we were digging out the original dirt basement-if it can be the can of money buried, cute glassware works!
I do LOVE those vintage bottles – they rock how about a very own beach cottage giveaway treat – where one of us gets to spend a weekend treasure hunting & lunching with you!!!
My parents live in a very old farmhouse on the far north coast of NSW. Mum has collected a huge amount of old glass bottles from around the property, displayed on an old wooden windowsill. There are quite a few medicinal bottles, some deep dark blue, all sorts of sapes and sizes. Beautiful!
Sara,
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those bottles. They look so pretty filled with water! I think we would get along real well!!! I wish I lived in your beach cottage!! Hope you are having a wonderful day! I am about to go to bed!
Take Care,
Maria
p.s. I don’t think you were bold at all in saying they were stunning, because they ARE! All of what you do is stunning!!!!!!
I am lucky. Due to my hubby’s line of work he sometimes digs up ol vintage bottles yep he knows how to make me smile. I too love this simple way of decorating. Have a good week end.
those bottles are great. i never thought about having old bottles aroun, but they look beautiful all together with the water in them. great idea – again! thanks
Hi Sarah
I was just talking about those old golden circle pineapple juice bottles the other day. I have quite a gross story that my mother shared with me from when I was a baby and she went to see “Gone with the Wind” and the theatre was packed even in the isles and so she had an empty pineapple bottle which she gave to him to pee in and that is gross enough but half way through the movie she forgot and took a swig!! Gross!! Sorry Probably not appropiate but I do have fond memories of the old pineapple juice in those litle bottles. Love It!
Thanks for the memories!
I love old carafes and milk bottles. I see them at thrift stores and would buy dozens of them except that I’m not really sure what to do with them. I just enjoy their simple beauty but do I need dozens to do so?:)
Love the bottles…I have a collection sitting on top of my cabinets in laundry room. My hair gets cut and colored this afternoon and i am absolutely giddy at the thought. Have a fun weekend – Spring is a blooming here finally. Wahoo.
In a word, those bottles are “lovely”! They look so serene all grouped together. I especially love the lines of the “Pineapple” juice one. And I know what you mean about the “thrill of the hunt”. Nothing beats digging through old stuff and finding the perfect treasure!
Your bottles are beautiful! My mother always collected old bottles while I was growing up. I’ve managed to talk her into letting me have a few of my favorite ones.
I love the old ones with text molded right into the glass.
You have a wonderful eye for light and the bottles really are stunning. I love old bottles and jars – the simplicity appeals to me. No treasure hunting for me this weekend – music lessons and surprise birthday fill my weekend, but I will be back to the hunt soon.
Gorgeous! Just seeing your post and pics makes me want to start my own collection. The blue color is amazing. It is a color I use in my home in a few rooms… Love it!
love them! we have a collection of vintage mason jars and old cheerwine (north carolina cola) and rc cola bottles. they make great bud vases when things start blooming.
LOVE vintage glass. I think it must remind me of the good ole days. My mom has a few pieces that I covet. I’ve made her will them to me. Morbid? I think not.
I’m always on the hunt too. Was just out this morning 2nd hand store shopping. Didn’t find any glass, but found some other great treasures.
Beautiful bottles just as they are but would be equally as nice with a blossom or two. My favorite old bottle is a lavendar colored ink bottle…Happy Weekend!
Love the bottle collection dear friend!!
You always inspire me with all you fantastic ideas Sarah!! I’m ready to go shopping. If only I had neat stores like you have to shop at!!!
Have I told you lately how much I LOVE and HEART your blog!! It’s the best!! Have a happy and blissful weekend.
love your bottles Sarah. I recently put some colored bottles on the sills so the sun can shine through them in the morning. When the gardens start to bloom, the bottles will hold flowers.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Newly addicted reader of your blog and first time poster (no longer a lurker). I just love these bottles, they remind me of my grandparents house when I was little. My G’ma would have these lining the sills of her sunroom – drying them out ready for sauces or whatever she had bubbling in the kitchen. They were beautiful on the outside and then held something just as scrumptios on the inside. I have a small collection myself but have boxed them away as we have recently sold our house. Can’t wait to get them back out soon.
Love the bottles! I just read about you on dreamy whites and am feeling quite inspired. I Love the beach! I love the sea! It calms me. I’m so inspired about your brave move to australia! Loved reading about your journey! My biggest dream in life would be to own a beach house!
Ebay is good in a pinch, but NOTHING beats the chase! Love photos.
I just read your story on Dreamy Whites — I’ve seen your blog many times, but I had somehow always missed your story. So inspiring and fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
I always love the look of the bottles, and then save them and don’t know what to do with them! I need a mantle…and more flat display space. I’ll have to work on that!
G'day! I'm Sarah, I live in a tatty old cottage, near the sea in Australia with a battered old deck & a big old fig tree out the back...stripped wooden floors, old sash windows & a jumble of vintage furniture. [Read More …]
Beach Cottage ladies, we have some vintage linen and some wood/twig washed up on the beach today here in Beach Cottage Land….don’t say I don’t keep you entertained now will you . Come on in. So, yep I have posted about colanders on this blog, about things sourced from the side of the road, about [...]
G'day ladies, let's have a Too Easy Beach Cottage recipe yeah? The original place for Too Easy Recipes on the web ;-)
So, after my last salad went down a storm in my inbox, that's here if you missed it, I had to do this one seeing as I make it most weeks.
There is a problem with this salad and kiddos though...it looks, well, it looks, kinda yucky...but once they try it, they'll ask if and when they are next having it....at least that's what happens in this ratty old cottage...but I must interject here that my kiddos are 'good eaters'? ...they didn't get a choice in that ;-)
Now, stop, don't start running and hitting that next on your blog reading list, pulses are your best friend in the Too Easy Dump & Go kitchen for the busy mum, or busy anyone for that matter...that reminds me I must blog the garlic canneloni Go To for when you forgot to do dinner, feel like a bath but have three ravenous young Beach Cottage Kiddos on your hands...another day.
I am almost embarrassed to tell you how easy this is, we have it so much that I always have a couple, make that six, cans of lentils around and a jar of goat's cheese in the fridge...the great thing about this is that it's all too easy to get ready in just a few minutes, but it looks, tastes and seems like you did oh so very much more than that.
You can obviously too change it up a bit depending on what you have to hand in your kitchen, and I must say that is how I settled on this version...because one day when I made it I didn't have enough Parsley in the garden and so I chucked in some basil too, and liked the Summer feel it added.
I think of this as being a rather posh salad, not sure why, because it couldn't really be further from the truth...the great thing is that it works so well for an average run of the mill day, (when I did this for this blog post, it was a hot Sydney Sunday and I did it just simply to go with Rosemary & Garlic stuffed pork, you can see that pork here),
...but just as easily it works on a regular old Wednesday night when you have lost all enthusiasm for rustling up yet another meal, or indeed on Saturday night, when your friends are on their way over for dinner and you my friend, are in your new vintage inspired clawfoot bathtub (that's me in a few weeks time, k?) without any clothes on, a tipple and no idea what to cook for dinner...
I have a complicated and ever-changing relationship with goat's cheese...it never fails me in its performance and it never fails to impress me (you can find out a bit more on what I like in food here if you like) and I kinda collect it...because it's very easy to collect and has a fairly long fridge-life, I love trying out different ones and there's not many things I love more than goat's cheese on sourdough...but I think the best thing about it is not thinking about it exclusively in the toast/salad department...I've stuffed it in chicken and all sorts of things as a last minute and it's been fab.
But let's get down to the nitty gritty of this super salad that makes you look like an angel who has been on her knees all day scrubbing the front step when really you are in the digital world and spent most of ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, howdy, howdy howdy today for a Beach Cottage Too Easy recipe.
If you like cake, cream, sugar and chocolate, make this.
This is, rather than a recipe, a putting it together...as you know I am no dessert maker, but, I do make quite a few sweet things, because, somehow I have ended up with kiddos, who in their roles as offspring, believe that part of the deal, is that not only do I feed them a home-cooked meal with a few homegrown ingredients in there, yes, they also believe that dessert and not the kind that comes out of a packet is included too in this All-Inclusive Deal they call Parenthood.
So, this, for sure, is no culinary masterpiece, but if you are looking for something that is so very easy, dump-able, uses everyday ingredients and at the same time makes you look like you spent hours pulling things together plus tastes good....well, then this is for you.
Best though, you don't make this for yourself, if you have spent the most part of your week sitting on your derriere reading blogs...this my friend ain't low in the calories department...if, however, you are treating yourself to a delight in a mason jar, this is so for you.
I first had a version of this when at dinner back in Old Blighty with a girl, I once, in another life, caught the train up from our village to London with...she was a funny thing really...I am not quite sure how we got on...she was kinda prissy and a bit bothered by too much...I would run to the train flustered, having got up late, and she would have a spreadsheet on the train times, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, a few years later when we both had bambinos, I bumped into her again and we met up for playdates and dinner sometimes....this particular night, after a lovely meal she served up little bowls of creamy, cakey fruity stuff topped off with chocolate flake...it was delicious!
She didn't serve hers in little jars like this, hers were in a champagne glass and not quite so layered as these ones, plus she used tinned fruit not fresh or frozen.
Years later when said offspring kept requesting dessert, one day I wangled together somehow these from what was around in the fridge and they've been with us ever since.
Most likely, if you ever come here for dinner, and shock horror, you dont' bring the dessert with you, this, if you are lucky, will be what you will get.
Throw it all together, sprinkle a lil bit of chocolate on the top and the blog reading past-time you so rudely left in order to make this, is my friend, your oyster.
Beach Cottage Too Easy Layered Raspberry, Cream & Sponge Dessert
1 small maderia or butter cake or a pack of cupcakes (or of course make your own)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
8 tbsp fruit
1 x chocolate Flake or chocolate bar for grating
1. beat the cream cheese until it is soft
2. whip the cream until soft peaks form
3. combine & add the sugar through
4. cut your cake into portions
& layer into the bottom of your jar
5. add a tablespoon of fruit
6. layer on top the cream combo
7. repeat
8. grate chocolate or Flake on top
*Beach Cottage Recipe Notes : this is just a guide really, you can use any cream that you have on hand...I have made this with clotted cream (don't even go there unless you want to seriously get these babies on your thighs), with double cream and I have even, in desperate times squirted in that, ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, well I thought it was time for some blogging tips here today, alongside a few nice flowers and shells ;-)
I was recently part of a blogger discussion group over at Kidspot and a couple of hours later had a few questions from girls who couldn't make it to the live chat, one was on my Facebook page and one via email, the Facebook one I will deal with in another Real Girl Blogging Tips post...the email one asked me what essentials do I think every blog needs?
Well I have been around here for a while now doing the blogging thing, so I should know this, yeah and I mused this on my walk by the sea this morning I thought well what do you only need?
...I think it is really very easy when blogging, whether or not you are blogging up there in the lofty heights of the Super Bloggers or you are just dipping your toe in the water, to get side-tracked by 101 million different things that are 'essential' to your blog and if you are someone like me who actually gets a thrill from reading blogging tips then you are in an even worse place because you will find yourself literally buzzing with these essential things to add/do/implement on your blog.
However, walking along, gulping down that brisk sea air today (no sunshine & clouds) I thought you actually don't need any of that professional blogging stuff to be successful...but there are a few things that are pretty much crucial ...and once I started to think about it I got it down to about 5 - these are the only things that you need to concentrate on...once you have read through take a look at some of the big girl's blogs...you'll see that actually they don't have bundles of stuff on their blogs...but they do have all of these...
So here are my top things that your blog must have
1. About Page
There are all sorts of About Pages out there, and if you search on it there are many different tips and ideas for what to have on yours
Whatever blogging platform you use, adding an About Me Page is easy, quick and simple and will do everything to grow your blog.
I like a long-ish About Page, I am inherently nosy and I like to know a bit more about the person but at the least you should have on it your name and where you are located. I also think a photo is good too...over the last year or so I think this has become more important in blogging - if you are hesitant about that as I was, you can try using sunglasses or a behind shot until you get comfortable.
There is nothing worse than stumbling upon a new blog and going to find out more to only be faced with a piddly little one liner About Me Page...well there is something worse, not having one at all!
2. Contact Page
The chances are someone, somewhere will want to contact you and you will be surprised what lands in your inbox once you put yourself out there on the world wide web with a blog.
Many bloggers also use this page to include details for PR's/brands that may want to contact them and some bloggers put their stats on there too.
A short, to the point and simple Contact Page works really well...whenever I have wanted to contact another blogger I am often very busy and have limited time so I don't want to hang around sifting through information looking for an email address, so concise and clear ...
G'day lovely Beach Cottage lovelies.
So, yeah, so on a roll people, so on a roll.
I feel kinda home accessory wired right now.
I am always telling people, if anyone ever listens, that blogging is all about passion, not that sort of passion, but about passion that makes one tick.
Things like this make me tick tick boom.
I love finding things that suit my budget and let me treat my home but look amazing too.
So without further adieu I introduce you, ladies of the beach, to the blue vintage glasses that I have been stroking for about a week or two now...
These glasses are from a little boutique I sometimes happen upon, this boutique sells also pet accessories, carpet cleaner, bras and compost...it's quite unique though.
And, thanks to my friend Marnie (she blogs over here, go take a look at her praying position, interesting), who just so happens to be one day having me over for a lil' Greek dinner, has let me in on the fact that we call Kmart....The KMart...with an accent ....as in 'I love The KMart'...just like her MIL does. Oh yeah. Love that.
So I have had my eye on reproduction vintage glass blue wine glasses and being trying to find real true vintage blue glasses for like ever.
Oh yes I have spied them in Frenchy boutiques, I have lusted after them in stores that I shouldn't even enter and I have put them back pretty quickly in those shops with the hand-written price tags. C'mon, you know the ones.
And, though all of the above have tempted me, muchly, really, even with my wardrobe stashing skills I just thought that, actually, I'd rather be saving that casherooni for our next trip overseas..
Hello The KMart.
Tick Tick Boom
Vintage style blue wine glasses.
Do not come to my old place and think you might pick up one of these and smile with pleasure at their handblown quality, their weight, and be secretly jealous that my wine glasses cost more than your car...friend, that would not happen...these do not feel like that...indeed these in a funny way reminded me of my baby girl, she was a tiny little thing, with stick legs, the tinsssssssiest ankles and wrists you ever did see, she slept sideways in her cot wedged in between rolled up blankets and would only settle attached to Mr Beach Cottage or I or a (dirty) pj top of mine scrunched up under her nose...the first few times I picked her up to cuddle, being used to Honeymoon Baby who weighed in at 9lbs at birth and has never really stopped growing, I nearly threw her little bird-cum-rat down covered body over my shoulder.
These glasses are like that...be careful or you might lose your wine down the front of your shirt.
But oh baby, we are not talking picking up here, we are not talking quality, we are not talking house accessory snobbery.
Beach Cottage ladies, we are talking aesthetics.
And this is what I need in my cottage.
Blue vintage style glass, paired with coastal / nautical / beach stuff on my deck.
It's The KMart.
Tune in tomorrow, tomorrow, I have more budget foofing for your home, or maybe it will be the dress that wraps me up in supermarket-chic and makes me feel like me again.
Good Day to you my friends, wanna come hang out on my deck, talk house accessories, The KMart and drink some wine from blue glasses?

Oh they look lovely , I like the blue one at the back the most .
Love them. The blue one pops out at me too since I recently picked up 6 blue mason jars at an auction. I probably paid too much, it was my first auction. But I don’t like losing!
I have a line of old aqua/green bottles on my kitchen window sill. They make me smile.
I love vintage glass bottles! Especially blue glass, sigh… Too lovely!
I know exactly what you mean. Somethings, I do find on ebay, but somehow, when you find it in person, it seems more like it is meant to be. The best bottle I ever found actually has my last name on it. I just happened across it. Meant to be for sure.
I have a lovely collection of vintage bottles, milk bottles & mason jars (a couple of the aqua ones-covet!) They are displayed on our transoms until needed for fresh blooms. We have a very old farmhouse and a couple of the bottles were discovered when we were digging out the original dirt basement-if it can be the can of money buried, cute glassware works!
I love them! I love old bottles. I have some but I would love to collect more. You always find the coolest stuff girl!! xo
I love old bottles too, but the thrift/antique stores around here have outrageous prices when it comes to not that old bottles. Yours look great.
Oh, I love old bottles, and I love to put single flowers in them, time to do that too.
Have a lovely day,
all the best from Germany,
Silke
I do LOVE those vintage bottles – they rock
how about a very own beach cottage giveaway treat – where one of us gets to spend a weekend treasure hunting & lunching with you!!! 
Dear Sarah….they look beautiful…
hope you have a wonderful weekend & cook up that storm!!

My parents live in a very old farmhouse on the far north coast of NSW. Mum has collected a huge amount of old glass bottles from around the property, displayed on an old wooden windowsill. There are quite a few medicinal bottles, some deep dark blue, all sorts of sapes and sizes. Beautiful!
I’m glad it’s not just me who has trouble finding old bottles – they elude me each time I go looking for them. I’ll have to not look for them instead!
Sarah they look fabulous with the light streaming through
Alison
Sara,
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those bottles. They look so pretty filled with water! I think we would get along real well!!! I wish I lived in your beach cottage!! Hope you are having a wonderful day! I am about to go to bed!
Take Care,

p.s. I don’t think you were bold at all in saying they were stunning, because they ARE! All of what you do is stunning!!!!!!
I love old bottles – have them dotted here and there all over the house
I am lucky. Due to my hubby’s line of work he sometimes digs up ol vintage bottles yep he knows how to make me smile. I too love this simple way of decorating. Have a good week end.
Wonderful collection…
Your blog looks fab but I do not not see anywhere to follow..
Are you part of Google Reader?

And I have cut my hair in half yesterday, so it is much easier to maintain. You know, more time for blogging….
Love the bottles,especially the blue color,,,,,don’t you wonder where they have been???? Just gorgeous!!!
Old bottles have so much history, and they look so lovely togethere, especially how you have displayed them.
That light dancing in amongst the glass and water swoons the heart.
These are beautiful!! The colors are perfect, and I love the way you captured the light. Wonderful as always!
They are lovely! I like colored glass too and all these vintage bottles. I have some in my bathroom window and love how the sun shines through.
Gorgeous! Just seeing your post and pics makes me want to start my own collection. The blue color is amazing. It is a color I use in my home in a few rooms… Love it!
Very nice bottles. I grew up in Wyoming where you can actually sometimes find antique bottles lying about in the “badlands.” So fun to hunt for them.
Love your vintage bottles!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
