Living Perfume

I promise to share some of our Paris trip really soon [we've got a ton of pictures to sort through!], but in the meantime, I thought I’d pop in and share this exhibit I just discovered via Wide Open Spaces. It’s called Living Perfume, and it’s going on right now in NYC at Henri Bendel [poo, that it's too far away to go!]. 

As I have mentioned before, I have a bit of a miniature perfume collection myself, and I love them. Each label and bottle shape is so unique and special. I love finding them in antique shops all over the place. I even found a couple in Paris. They quickly found their way home with me.

The ones pictured above came from my paternal grandmother. They are vintage ones she picked up on a trip to Paris a very, very long time ago. They are teenie tiny [the smallest pictured is an inch tall]. And there are ten of them in a long, skinny French box. These little perfumes belonged to my mom, and she gave them to me when I was little. I treasure them.
