    So lovely. My hubs and mother in law are really into antiques, those beautiful viles are totally something they would have picked out too. Great idea to use them a bud vases. Have a great week!

    I like that case and those vials. It makes me think that they're something that characters in a fairy tale would carry their potions in. (Blame my thought on the fact that I've watching episodes of Once Upon a Time on my DVR.)

    Were these vials for smelling salts, do you think? They are so lovely.

    Hey there, any possibility you would sell that case and vials?

    Thanks for your time and consideration.
