We didn’t venture far for this trip. Just in the middle of our home town, Bottle Village is short drive from our home. This unique attraction is a wonderland crafted from castoff materials. The site is admired by art scholars from around the world. The grounds cover a one-third acre site. As you stroll the grounds, you can’t help to be amazed by the assembly of shrines, wishing wells, mosaic walkways, and structures. The village showcases the artistic work of Tressa “Grandma” Prisbrey.
