It's so funny you should post this because I was just at a restaurant (so called hot spot) that had these exact bottle light fixtures...and my friends were saying it was DYI, and I knew that wasn't the case...but we had a good laugh over it :) Great post today!!!

Hi M.
You tagged me a few days ago, but i didnt get along with it because: 1st: I was also tagged in my other blog "The Stiletto Effect" and 2nd: I'm going to change my "Susana Daily" blog (it will be under construction for a while). But thank you so much for the tag :) it was very nice of you.
I really like your blog :)
you're a sweetheart :)
