Anything and everything!!! Wow!! I would just love anything you can come up with. Tell me what you want in return ladies!! I have completed my "recipe" for Lavender Cool mist and I thought besides using blue glass "mister" bottles....vintage perfume bottles would be kind of neat!
Thank you so much!

Oh Melody-----I went and found some perfume bottles----however I didn't buy them as I really really need to know if this is what you want,,,,,,,I don't think so. Theses were the real glamourous OLD bottles with the glass stoppers on top....totally nice one had a glass heart shaped top and another had a fancy stick made of glass. I was not sure how you could ship your perfume in these without them spilling out. I think what you meant really was empty old perfume bottles with regular tops-----let me know asap....as this is a lot of fun....even my husband is helping out with thinking....if you only have a bottle of one kind what if they reorder and you can't duplicate????? I love that I've got him thinking....yea......hurry and get back to me.

Melody,
I have a couple of blue, Evening in P aris bottles. One is talcum powder and one is bath crystals but they are both really pretty cobalt blue and the labels are intact.
Let me know if you would like these.

Beverly...I am thinking that I could use what they call "shrink" bands to seal the bottles and it would be fun to list them as each one would be unique and they could choose which one they would like to have each time if they decide to reorder....the ones you described sounded really beautiful! But since I am kind of a plain jane maybe more simple well defined lines although when you think French perfume it just has to be elegant No?
....I trust your classic sense of taste Beverly.
Have some FUN! Go for it! And, I love the your dear husband is in on the fun as well. That's really sweet 
Gee... I might even keep some of these just for me!!! There is nothing like that around here that I can find. So glad you are "hunting" for me out there. Did you have fun this weekend??

Melody, we went to 2 yard sales and found not a single bottle.
Now I talked to my mom and she thinks she has something for you, I need to help her out to dig the bottles. she said she saved a lot of old bottles when she was younger, some quite small and some large ones, as soon as I find out (tomorrow most certainly) I will let you know.

I feel I'm going to have some good luck and good prices---by the end of this week I will let you know how I do.....Melody that sounds like a good way to seal the bottles.
I'll keep you informed.

Hi Melody,
Are you interested in bottles without their stoppers? I have a few around here that I picked up at estate sales that are missing their closure but are nevertheless quite lovely. I'm imagining that small corks would seal the bottles. I can send pictures if you'd like.

Melody, I've got 4 large glass bottles, they all have a different shape and they closure is plastic for all of them.
Mom said they use to have cologne in them, from different brand. One may hold 1/2 litter, one may only hold not even half of that but has a pointy shape quite original.
Let me know if you are interrested.

Beverly....The box ARRIVED!!! Safe and sound and chock full of beautiful, gorgeous perfume bottles and pill boxes. What a dear heart you are!
I will get packing right away as the snickerdoodles turned out wonderfully well ( I froze them) and I have all the jams I wanted to collect from my friend Bonnie V also, there will be a few extra goodies put in for good measure.
Thank you dear heart! You have exquisite taste....
Talk to you soon!
Love
Melody
