This listing has a vintage unopened box of “Fleurs Jolies” (Pretty Flowers) dusting powder by Lander!

It’s 10 ounces net weight and was purchased at G.C. Murphy Co. – still has the original price tag of 33 cents!!

Because of its age, I cannot guarantee that the fragrance is unchanged so item is being sold as-is.

This is a super item that is not only very collectible but is very usable – it’s a handkerchief edgings book (15 pages) with a copyright date of 1949 and it’s a first edition!

Some of the page headings are so cute – “Blow and Behold”, “Right on the Nose”, and (my favorite) “Will You be Mine?, Dainty edgings with come-hither ways”.

Very good condition.

This listing has a super nice Enesco Prayer Lady Mother in the Kitchen spoon display holder!

She is in wonderful condition and still has the original Enesco red and gold foil label/sticker.

The only evidence of possible use is a teeny rough place on her bow loop that could be production -- I could not be certain -- but it is not detracting to this lovely and very collectible item.
