Vintage Perfume Bottles

I have been collecting vintage perfume bottles for a long time...and my mother collected them too...so, I have quite a collection.
I bought this group of bottles at the auction last Saturday...

It was 17.50 for the box.

I decided to display them in a large crystal bowl...

Here is a close up of some of the bottles....

There were several bottles of Chanel...Evening in Paris...


Irrisitible....

I put the bowl on my vanity in the utility room....
I replaced the vase of flowers  by the clock  in the right corner with the bowl of vintage  perfume bottles.  I move stuff around all the time...you never know where you will see it next!

  9. Holy Moly!!
    Penny, that is quite a stash of vintage perfume bottles!! So interesting and unique in their own right!! Very pretty!!
    You are so lucky that your Mom enjoyed collecting and decorating... My Mom saw everything as a "Dust Catcher" and was not into my style of decorating. Her and My sister liked everything new and old things in their eyes were just junk........ She used to get so mad at me when someone would ask me how do I dust all the "stuff" in my house and I would answer with this question.. "Who Dusts?????" LOL!!

    Hugs,
