I was on the phone with our tax preparer (waiting for DH to come over with info about our IRAs) and, to fill the quiet between us, I asked her if she wears perfume.
"Just on special occasions: Chanel No. 5," was her answer. She said her mother, now deceased, always wore Shalimar, which my tax lady wasn't crazy about, but she still liked keeping her mom's empty Guerlain flacons as keepsakes. She got the bright idea of refilling the bottles with two different kinds of decoration she bought at a craft store: small crystals and what she called "thick, clear glitter" (larger than the glitter of our youth, I guess). She has the bottles in a window where they catch the light and remind her of her mother.
