One of my weaknesses is ViNtaGe Mirrors!!! I especially LoVe the Old Ones ~ that have acquired a unique silver loss patina... It's a plus if the frame is chippy old white paint & a bit ornate...

Time-Worn PaTiNa...
Silver-Loss PaTiNa/Ghosting...
Just in past few months I've been drawn to "frame-less" Old Mirrors... Frame-less Mirrors work standing up... hung... or lying flat to adorn this & that... I have to say ~ the little Bird/Mirror is my #1 most cherished FiNd!*!*!
A lot of frame-less old mirrors have wonderful "etching" on them... I recently picked up the mirror on the lower right at Viva la Cottage in Door County,... LoVe it's silver-loss patina!*!*!
This mirror had fabulous silver loss patina - SOLD some years back...
Although the mirror on the left, no longer has "reflective" viewing - it's patina is just awesome!!! The chippy white frame couldn't get any better either...
I just LoVe Tri-Mirrors!!! They work so well above a couch, above a sideboard, resting on the back edge of cabinet, mixed in a grouping etc. Almost always they have "etching"... I love when I find them with a beautiful ornate crest on top!!! This one is long gone...
I also Love Old Mirrors with "chippy gesso/plaster"... This one has some beautiful flowers...
Mirror Mirror On the Wall ~ who's the fairest of them All??? - I'd have to say ~ it's this one in our home... I looked for it for years!!! A Kane County Flea Market Find...
Have a GREAT rest of this Summer WeekEnd!*!*!
And do know - I so appreciate you reading/enjoying/commenting on my entries...
