There are few things more inspiring to me than apothecaries: the bottles, the labels, the history. I am totally intrigued by old bottles and the labels on them, not to mention the stores they used to be sold in. Just for fun, I'm doing a whole post on the things that inspire me so much.

Great post! There's just something about how organized the bottles look when they're all together. I remember watching Practical Magic not long ago and thinking of how much I'd love to browse a shop like that. Thanks for sharing this!
Fun post! I love the old apothecary labels and cabinets!
Love those labels and of course all the old bottles. So fun to alter.
