Hand-painted Glass Perfume Bottle!


You've seen this little white rabbit before, of course. And the photo may also be familiar as it is from a sunset at our Hagerman Lake Cottage that my father built back in the 1940's. But this little hand-painted perfume is "new" and one of my all-time favorite thrifty finds. 

I found this sweet cottage piece in a flea market shop in Chesterton, Indiana several years ago. When the sunlight shines through it, you can almost see those lovely little fish swimming about. I just love to look at it during the day as I go about my cottage adventures. So peaceful and lovely!

  1. Coralie, if you come to Chesterton again, I would love to meet you. Perhaps you may visit SawGrass marketplace off state road 49 this summer? Or the Eurpoean market on Saturdays. I would meet you anywhere you wish.
    Smiles,
    Pat

  3. Thanks so much for the invite, Pat! We stop in Chesterton usually on our way home from my sister home north of Chicago. We hope to make a trip late this summer or early fall and I will definitely get in touch with you. I would love to meet you in person! I'll let you know when/if we are coming and we can exchange phone #'s and such!
