A secular shrine for displaying your intentions, messages, or personal reminders. A vintage chain and bell cork charm assist in removing the cork. A hand-hammered tin enclosure on the door hold blank message rolls and are displayed in the bottle, once filled out, to be a visual reminder of your hopes and intentions. The bottle stands against a gunmetal purple glitter backgrop, adding a little playfulness to the design. 3 hours 2016
