Kooky Finds

Why yes, that is a chandelier made of wine bottles.

I spend an impractical amount of time searching for new names to faun over. You’d think that I’d have heard them all by not, but that isn’t so – I’ve come across plenty new finds in the past 3 months or so and have collected them together here especially for you.
