A palm-sized leather case, marked with a 'B.'
Four tiny vials in sterling caps, marked with an 'E.' There are some treasures that only a best friend can spot.
I've been toting the case around since middle school and yesterday I put the vials to temporary use.
They're keeping thistles fresh in an apartment that was feeling bare in the absence of December's pine and spruce.
Tiny glass vials for tiny treasures.
So lovely. My hubs and mother in law are really into antiques, those beautiful viles are totally something they would have picked out too. Great idea to use them a bud vases. Have a great week!

ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely, lovely photography of beautiful objects!
ReplyDeleteI like that case and those vials. It makes me think that they're something that characters in a fairy tale would carry their potions in. (Blame my thought on the fact that I've watching episodes of Once Upon a Time on my DVR.)
ReplyDeleteWere these vials for smelling salts, do you think? They are so lovely.
