    Hm-m-m. I think this Halloween I will have to brew up a happiness spell to make people forget their misery for at least one night! Great lens! Blessed.

    I started making potion jars for this years halloween party and I put some dirt and worms (fake ones) in and it looks great, real gross. It's called earth worms by lovemanor.com They have a great selection of labels. My husband pick them up at our local store in the fishing section.

    What fun! My husband always does his shrunken apple heads and people love them. We have a few rubber rats,too. I think we should add some more creepy stuff in jars next year.

    I love making these. I used to collect old bottles and decanters from garage sales and fill them with colored water. I even have a little ceramic jar that reads "Wool of Bat" on it. Awesome lens!

    Fantastic lens! I just put my own attempt together and realized it has the imagination of a snail. I shall do better with the next one!! Well done to you, though. You have inspired me to make more effort!!

    Now THIS was just what I was looking for... eeeexcellent! I'm doing my screen porch into a "gypsy witch wagon" and I have a plant stand for herbs that I will also be putting potion bottles, ingredient jars, etc. all over for decoration. Nice nice work, love it, great job, I'm putting this up on my lens and probably going to use lots of ideas here.

    Fantastic lens! I too collection bottles, but for some reason I like the odd shaped ones and have several. I'm with grannysage, I need a witch pantry or two or three. It is getting time to dust off the bottles and grind some Eye of Newt for recipes because Halloween is approaching fast!!

    I want one of each! I've always wanted an apothecary chest. I have a huge collection of bottles but no where to put them in this house (sad face). When we lived in San Diego we used to shop at the Witch Creek Winery. They had a Zinfandel called Eye of Newt with a picture of a black cat on the label. After the wine was gone, I kept the bottle to look "spooky." I see they have changed it and now have a cauldron and a black cat. Hmmm, may have to get some.

    Now, where can I display my potion bottles? I need a witches pantry, lol.
