Re: Katy
I collect perfume bottles...and to a lesser extent perfume. I love perfume, but I'm crazy for bottles. I don't know how many I have, but the bulk of my collection is still in boxes, and on my dresser I currently have 8 perfumes and 7 empty bottles. In my boxes I have some number of empty bottles well over 20 and under 50.
I have a gorgeous lalique green glass that is the prize of my collection, a tiny ivory bottle that was a purse perfume in the twenties when you could still get ivory, I have atomizers and daubers, and bottles from all over Europe (anytime anyone I know goes to Europe, they come back with perfume bottles for me). I have a couple of Murano glass bottles, some cut crystal decorative pieces, and even some novelty ones... one old Avon bottle that looks like an inkwell with a quill, some egyptian cat-like bottles...
and on and on and on. They're so glorious and all different, and such beautiful colors: sparkling reds and jewel blues, and a gold, and burgundy and pinks and...
yeah, I have a serious perfume problem.
