Time for Three or More Tuesday!Tam at The Gypsy's Corner is our gracious host.
Something interesting is going on over there.
I'll tell you more about it later.
~~~~~~~~~
Today I want to remember my grandparents
who were married a lot more than Three or More years.
They made it to 68 years before my grandfather passed away.
They were married on this date in 1928.
Here they are not long after they were married!
This pictures shows them as how I remember them best.This way taken during one of the photo sessions for
the church pictorial directory.
My grandmother used to have several perfume bottles.
But right now I can't remember which ones she wore.
I think one of her favorites was Unspoken from Avon.
But I am not sure. I know my mother likes that one.
I have a selection of cologne/perfume bottles also.
They used to just sit where ever on my counter.Then I bought this tray for a dollar
at the Dollar Tree.
Works great for corraling my bottles.
Avon fragrances here.Zany, Emprise and Ariane.
I hardly ever wear them anymore.
There is Le Jardon there in the middle.The little one is Ecusson Parfum from Jean D'Albret.
The two taller ones are from Yves Chantre.
Gingembre and Hybiscus.
Recent gifts to me from co-workers.
In the back is Midnight Lace from Avon.One of my favorites.
And tester of Folies Bergere.
Not sure how I eneded up with that one.
That one dollar tray works really well
for displaying my bottles.
Hope you all have a great Three or More Tuesday!

And now for the challenge!
You will see looking at Tam's post what is up with

what a cute post. love the old photos. pretty perfume bottles too. great tray!
makes the perfumes look grouped with sophistication. How fun to pick 1 out of the group at whim.
Awwwwwwwwwwww, both photos you've shared of your grandparents are super!!! What a wonderful life together...68 years. Amazing!!!
Happy Tuesday to you.
I love the smile on your grandfather's face. You are lucky to have a photo of them from way back when.
I give all you guys credit for the 3 project challenge. You are all way out of my league. I am tired just reading about them all.
I love this story! Seems like you got your love of perfume from your grandmother!
What a wonderful picture of your grandparents on their wedding day -- what a treasure!
Love the little dollar tree tray... isn't it amazing what you can find there? I rarely wear scent now, but when I do I either wear Chanel (I make my family buy it for me every christmas) or a bit of (believe it or not) Egyptian Goddess scented oil. From the sublime to the ridiculous, that's me!
