Hi honeys
How are you today? The weather's been shocking here most of this week, constant rain ☂ Oh well, you know what they say, if we didn't have rain we'd never see rainbows 🌈

Do you remember I shared some beautiful terrariums created by a dear friend, Cheryl, recently honeys? If you missed the post you can see it here, well today I thought I'd share a few of the gorgeous Harry Potter themed light bottles she's been making....

Isn't it stunning?  The bottle in the image above has Dumbledore's famous quote "Happiness can be found in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light..." from The Prisoner of Azkaban.  Let's have a look at some of Cheryl's other bottles...

The bottle below, lit by tiny sparkling lights in purple rather than the above white, shows the famous deathly hallows symbol, with Hermione's often quoted "...it's leviOsa not levioSA..." statement from levitation class on the opposite side...
  

The Marauder's Map, famously created by Remus Lupin (Moony), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) Sirius Black (Padfoot) and Harry's father James (Prongs) is brought to life beautifully in this bottle.... 

The Marauders Map of course can show the exact location of everyone inside Hogwarts, they appear on the map in the shape of tiny footsteps moving around the map.  Until activated, by the spell that brings the map to life "I solemnly swear I am up to no good..."  the map appears to be a blank sheet of parchment.  The spell appears on this stunning bottle along with the tiny footsteps.

Another favourite with fans is Dobby, the House Elf.  Once owned by the Malfoy family he was set free by Harry who gave him one of his socks 😊 

This bottle has an outline of Dobby himself and on the other side it has his exclamation to Lucious Malfoy that "Dobby is a free elf!!"

As with everything she does, Cheryl has outdone herself with these gorgeous bottles honeys. How amazing is it that by making these light bottles, Cheryl has not only created some truly beautiful home decor items, but that she's also helping to recycle & reuse these empty bottles?

I hope you've enjoyed seeing Cheryl's beautiful light bottles, if you'd like to say hello to Cheryl, have a look at her other creations or if you'd like a light bottle of your own you can find her Facebook page, It's On The Cards, here. She's such a lovely person, please say hello if you visit.

Well honeys, it's getting late and the damp weather is trying to twist me into a human pretzel so I'm going to go have a nice shower, get into my PJs and hug Jade. Stay warm, sleep well and till next time dear ones, hugs always xx
