Perfume Bottles

I don't think I have to tell anyone where I got these little glitter filled perfume bottles from. But just in case I got them from Marilyn. I didn't want them for the glitter as much as I wanted them for the bottles. I've been collecting perfume bottles since I was a kid. I was always being taken to antique shows and fairs when I was little and my mom, aunt and grandmother would start me on collections so I could get involved in the hunt as well. When I received these from Marilyn I was even more excited that this one still has a label on it!Here is a glimpse at some of my collection. I have them in a wall cabinet in my bathroom so the lighting was a little rough. Most of these here are from my husband. He seemed to have always found the oldest and best ones. "Evening in Paris" and "Spellbound".I remember finding this one on a table at a show and being in love with the velvet ribbon. I'm not sure what the "W" stands for.

I love this little bottle and the little paper tassel. What's so funny about it is that in 1st grade a boy gave it to me. Believe it or not I had two boys that liked me and would each keep bringing me gifts. It all stopped when one of the boys started bringing me his mother's jewelry. The bottle was full until I came home from school and spilled it on the ottoman in the living room.

I have this little German candy box in there as well...just because it's so pretty (and falling apart).

Okay...On to other things. I finally got my Junque box out to Maria yesterday. As usual I'm very last minute with everything but here is a peak.

Now I need to get back to working on my son's birthday party for Friday. The big "5". I always make my kids cakes. This year he wants dinosaurs with a gate (?) and a volcano. At first he wanted a King Kong cake. The dinosaurs are little easier but a gate and volcano? I 'll have to see what I can come up with.
