Bottle tree branches are beginning to fill up. Each day I try to add a new bottle or two. Ususally found since I am not up to drinking several bottles of wine a night:) Back in the day the trees would have filled up after one weekend. At this rate it may take till the end of the summer. Ann Bell gave me an article about Bottle Trees. A folk tradition where branches of a real tree were striped and a bottle was placed on the branch to get rid of evil spirits. It was thought that spirits are curious and would get stuck inside the bottle. I love this story since spirits were in the bottle before consumed. We are sooooo protected from evil since I have 4 bottle trees and want 3 more. Love that they are considered folk art.
