Monday Vintage Find: Glass doorknob wine stoppers

I have always loved the vintage appeal of glass doorknobs and if we ever get the chance to design our own house, they will definitely be making a strong appearance! Until then, I may have to be happy with having a few as stoppers in our favorite bottles of wine - Isn't that a genius idea? I first came across the idea in a little antique shop on the Gulf Coast and was reminded recently on an antiquing blog. You can either tranform a knob yourself or purchase one already made.

Wouldn't these be lovely at a wedding or as part of wedding gift?

I'm really loving the amethyst variety as it reminds me of my great-grandmother's back door ... the sun turned it a beautiful violet hue over years and years of use. :o) Think I may have to buy myself a little Christmas gift!
