wow sis. this is so pretty I like the details on this (((hugs))) #1206050Kirsten Kiki Kjaer November 17, 2009
FANTASTIC natural colors and details in this lovely arrangement of beautiful jewel decorated bottles and mirror (it is a mirror in the middle, isn't it?). I bet those bottles contain the most wonderful scents!Laura E. Swan November 17, 2009
This is one of my dressing tables, ladies. I have many favorite broaches and perfumes and hair pins, etc!Yes SSSKiki! That is an antique mirror there. In the old days it would have gone in a ladies little hand bag. I have always wondered who it belonged to...and what her life was like! :)
Thank You For Enjoying This Part Of It!

WOW!! So all of this is antique? They must have cost a fortune!! And yes, wouldn't it be fantastic if bottles and mirrors could talk? #8137837Renee Doyle November 17, 2009
This is such a wonderful collection Laura!!! Beautiful!!! #8137902Laura E. Swan November 17, 2009
Not EVERY one, SSSKiki, is antique but I have lots. I have spray misters that are so old the rubber mister bulbs are cracking, etc. VERY VERY old! :)Part of me has always felt I belonged in a different place in time...I am very attracted to this type of thing and all things beautiful.

Beautiful collection Laura, I love antiques and go to many auctions many times just to look and watch the sale. However, I am starting to sneeze just looking at those perfume bottles! #8138928Monnie Ryan November 17, 2009
Wow, I sure do love those intricate bottles, Laura! Wonderful composition and detail! #8139123Laura E. Swan November 17, 2009
Thank you friends. It's my pleasure to share part of my world with you. My mother, when I was a child, told me of our heritage and I am in fact related to Mary Queen Of Scots...(Who was actually English)...So perhaps this is why I feel so connected to this sort of thing?One never knows, does one?
I appreciate what each of you have said! It's always fun to hear what you have to say!!!
That one bottle pf perfume in the back there (The dark golden one), is my favorite. I wear it almost daily. It's one of the first perfumes Revlon ever came out with called, Ciara. It's heaven and I feel like it was made especially for me. :)
See you all soon if I didn't visit you last night.
