My Apothecary Cabinet is finished

I was a proud and excited to finish up my Vintage Witches Apothecary Cabinet for my Halloween decorations on the first day of October.  I usually drag my feet more on some things like this.  I was inspired of course by this Apothecary event. . . . . .

Laura Carson is the creator of this event and talent behind all the tutorials.  Her Tutorials really just gave me ideas for mine.  She said you could do it however you wished, but did offer products and such to make yours look just like hers.  I did not purchase any of the products she offered, but had so much fun putting together this for my own decor.  And my Apothecary cabinet is not as done up or fancy as hers is.  That is the beauty of this event!

The cabinet is one I had specially made years ago from my "wood man"  It has been a few different colors, but now just happens to be black!

I had lots of fun finding things at home that could work for the Apothecary.  I did purchase some digital labels from Etsy!

This bottle truly is a very old bottle and was found in the crawl space of a very old home we lived in in South Dakota years ago.  I remember that it still had some lotion in it, and my husband found many old bottles and jars down there that day!  It was like a treasure hunt!

I found these crepe paper fall leaves with wire inside in my stash!

 

Everything in this cabinet accept the skull (dollar store plastic, then painted and crackled) was around my home.  I didn't have to put out any money for this project accept the $2.00 and for the labels

The Tutorials gave so many great ideas.  My bottles are not very embellished compared to the ones in the tutorials.  

I chopped up an old jar candle with the scent of fall for the ear wax and I think it makes perfect Dragon's Ear wax!

I am sure it will continue to evolve, as I think of new things I can add in there.  I sure had fun creating the bottles and witches book!
