Time for Kelli's Show and Tell, go to There's No Place Like Home to see many more interesting Show and Tell stories!
Today I'm sharing a vintage compact my friend, DeAnn, gave me, she collects vintage compacts and gave me this one because it has a rose on it! While visiting DeAnn recently I took pictures of some of her compact collection. She has a glass top coffee table with a display area inside. It is perfect for her compacts. She also has some on shelves in her house. I think they are such neat and unusual things to collect!
That's a bowl of white glass fruit on top of the table.
Close-ups of both sides of the table.
Thank you for your interest, please leave a comment! And please do return soon!

Your compact is beautiful and I love the hand that you're displaying it in. It's gorgeous. Is it new or a vintage item? I'd love to hear the story behind it sometime.

I really enjoyed looking at the collection of compacts.
What a neat way your friend has all those displayed, but I especially like the way you have your compact displayed.
That is an unusual collection, and what a neat way to display them. I love the ones with roses on them.

Those are ALL charming. I remember when we used to buy the pretty compacts like that all the time. As they say, "They don't make 'em like that any more."
