Spring Coffee Table with a Vintage Seltzer Bottle

I recently posted about a fun stop at Plunderosa Antiques in Loxley, Alabama.  They feature many lovely vintage items from Europe.

I got this beautiful vintage

 seltzer bottle on my visit. 

I decided it was time to change up my coffee table with

 some spring items and I included the seltzer bottle.

I gathered some spring-like items and

 arranged them on this large wooden tray.

This was a real nest that we found several years ago

 in our crepe myrtle tree.  I painted some eggs

 to give the nest a more realistic touch.

I placed the nest in a tarnished Revere bowl.  Then, I

 placed the silver bowl inside a bowl that belonged to my

 aunt.  I think the floral edge is a perfect pop of 

color and goes along with my spring theme.

 The bottle has a "foot" or rim around the bottom.  It's

 different than my other seltzer bottle.  It also has

 a glass straw instead of a plastic one. The nice folks

 at Plunderosa Antiques told me how to take the

 top apart so I could clean the inside.  They suggested

 I invert the bottle and spray the hardware 

with WD-40 and leave it over-night.

  It worked like a charm!

It's bright and cheerful. 

 A new peace lily.  A couple of books

 and a bird paperweight complete the collection.

I'll bet you're ready for spring, too.  What are you doing to get ready for the warmer weather?
