When I was growing-up, my parents owned a small cosmetics
manufacturing & packaging company in the East Village.
They made specialty items in small batches, and filled them by hand.
My Dad would fill, and my Mom would artfully tie the gold cord & seal.
All 3 of us kids became experts at capping and labeling
bottles both left & right-handed.
We can smell cucumber lotion or tea rose perfume from a mile away.
I wish I had saved more bottles.
