One of my readers, Michele from Pennsylvania, recently purchased three hand-blown perfume bottles from a seller at Amazon.com called Luxury Lane. Ranging in size from 4 to 6 inches tall and priced between $9.99 and $24, Michele said of them: "I thought when I ordered them they would be nice, but I absolutely was not prepared for the quality and beauty of what I got. I admire good craftsmanship and these sure fit the bill. They are, for their size, quite heavy and would not easily be knocked over. I've wandered back to the bath twice today to admire the sunlight glinting off them and how the light plays on the glass."

Michele posted reviews at Amazon of the three bottles she bought (the ones pictured here, of which the lavender bottle is "not currently available"—looks like she nabbed the last one—but the other two still are, as well as eight other beautiful styles. You can view them all at this link I created to the seller's Amazon storefront.) Before I sign off on this post, I should note that I'm not affiliated with the seller and neither is Michele (whose reviews are posted under her nickname, Shelly, by the way).
