Scented Blue

Welcome to a beautiful BLUE MONDAY, hosted by Smiling Sally! Be sure to visit and read her sweet story about a surprise she received in the mail.
I have something else of my sister's to share this week.It's a beautiful Art-Deco style glass perfume bottle. Wouldn't you feel like such a fancy, genteel lady as you press the bulb and the lovely mist floats over you? I love the color and shape of this spritzer and wish I had one. But, neither of us wear perfumes, so it really doesn't matter!
I hope you'll take some time to check out my book giveaways and visit the others participating in the May Day Giveaways!

How pretty! I remember my mother having atomizers with netting over the bulb like that. That was one of the things that disappeared over they years without my awareness, but it sure brings back a warm memory now.

Happy Blue Monday and thanks for the giveaway info!

Very pretty..I too, remember my mom having atomizers.
Remember in the BOOK, Stuart Little where he uses one for his shower?? The kids had no idea what an atomizer was..gone the way of typewriters and 45 records!
Thanks for your visit!
