MILK BOTTLE CARRIER REPURPOSED


Here is a great find.  I was at a garage sale in town and found this old galvanized metal carrier.  I'm guessing maybe it was originally for milk bottles?

Anyway, as soon as I saw it, I KNEW I just HAD to have it for the farm.
I also knew immediately how we'd use it...


...as a wine bottle carrier!  So when we have friends over for dinner, inside or outside on the property, we can load up a few bottles of wine and carry them to the table.  It somehow seems appropriate for the country.

Got Wine?

    1. Ha, thanks. It's just the luck of the draw. I always think of the things that are out there right now that I could use but I don't know about them. Then I just figure that whenever I show up wherever it is, whatever I find is what was meant to be, ha.

  3. What a great find! And what a great way to use it now. So creative you are. I love it. Now I need to go to some yard sales. There are always some in St. Elmo in Tn. on the way to the market, but I am always in a hurry and can't stop. I will need to make time now. They always have some good stuff there.

  5. I like your milk carrier conversion to a wine carrier.
    This would make an awesome utensil holder once a bottom was placed on it.
    Nice find!

    1. I thought about that too! But we did something else with our utensil storage and I thought it would be nice to carry wine bottles out to the outdoor dining area...or other random spots on the property, haha.

  6. I think you could also put vases in the holders and make a beautiful flower arrangement.
