Envy

I hope everyone is enjoying a healthy and happy Yuletide! This old year is almost over; can you believe it? I must confess that none of my New Year's Resolutions revolve around weight loss, paying off my credit cards, or joining a gym. Mine run more along the lines of writing more poetry, being more diligent in filling my bird feeders, baking a perfect Hollywood Brown Derby Grapefruit Cake, and buying a decent camera so I can post my own photos here.

I can't remember if I reported that my plans to adopt Daisy Buchanan, the darling little Chihuahua pup from my brother's dog Snowflake, were cancelled in favor of common sense. There simply isn't anyone home enough to devote to a puppy right now. I was bummed out, but practicality ruled the day on that one. So I'm living vicariously through those of you who post on your blogs about your pets. Keep it up!

Because we can never have enough beauty in our lives, I want to share with you some gorgeous, vintage Rene Lalique perfume bottles that make me burn with envy of their owners.

(No resolutions involving envy, either!)

I covet the Lilas and Satyr bottles especially. I've always been curious about Satyr.

BTW, condolences on having to forgo dog ownership. I just put up a new post at my blog with you in mind.

I am going green looking at that divine Guerlain bottle!
You know, you did the best thing regarding the little dog. Dogs do need company and I can only imagine how torn you were.
Its not easy being sensible!
LOL
There is a puppy out there with your name on it - just not yet.

The only way I can deal with such beauty, is to analogize it as something belonging in a museum.

Otherwise, I feel lustful.

So lovely; thank you, Mary !
