I Love Collecting!

I just love to collect things. I don't collect these silver mirrors, but who knows, someday I just might. I think they would be so pretty sitting in the bathroom. Or even hung on the wall in a grouping. I love to group interesting objects. The more the merrier for me.

I can just imagine what the worn beauty would look like on these vintage mirrors. All faded with brown marks where the mirror has worn off. I don't even think there could be anything more lovely than a worn old mirror. The patina is what I am about.

I also love old monograms. I don't even care if they match mine. I just like to pretend it is an old relative or an old friend. Part of the beauty of finding an old beauty like one of these mirrors is thinking about a more grand time when it might have been used. Was she getting ready for a first date....or was she getting ready to go to her first dance...maybe her wedding...or mayber her daughters wedding? That is so fun for me. Life isn't so grand these days...but I bet these mirrors were adored. So who knows where my next antique adventure might take me...but maybe just maybe I might find a beauty similar to one of these. After all the hunt is half the fun.
