Mirror,Mirror


Mirror mirror on the wall we love you best of all.


Joe and I have had a gold mirror here and various large prints but we think this is the best focal point so far. We really are searching for an old rusty gate but it escapes us.


Now you may ask how do we switch out so many objects up there?
Do we have a huge budget? 
No, we are cheap.
Joe found this mirror last Saturday, covered in dirt, at a yard sale, and paid two dollars for it.
Yes $2.00.
That is our budget.
 
What is your best find?

    Beautiful mirror. And you can't beat the price. Ya'll must be good yard sale shoppers. I love yard sales but I hate getting out so early on a Sat morning. I really should as I know there are always a bargains to be found. You have set a pretty table. It is so festive and inviting.

    Olive, what a lovely mirror. It looks wonderful above your fireplace and the price can't be beat! I know I get so much more enjoyment out of things when I find them on the cheap or if they have a family story behind them. It's so much more fun than going to the mall! Ann

    Oh I love that mirror, and I love it even MORE that it was covered in dirt and cost two bucks.

    Cheap and dirty, that's how I like 'em. :-P

    My best find? Oh yikes ... that's a tough one! I'll have to get back to you on that!
    Merry Christmas, Cass

    I found a gorgeous old plaster mirror on the side of the road for trash. My kids were little and I had the double stroller, which I made them get out of so I could push the heavy mirror home. They were crying because it was so far to walk....(not really) and wanted to be pushed.

    I think someone is snatching up all the old rusty gates in the world. I wanted one for my office to use as a bulletin board, but never see them anymore. Love the shape of the mirror.

    Olive, I like the fact that you change things out. I have found great things "junking". I'll have to get some pictures, since you've made me think of everything i find special. Smiles, Susie

    Oh yes $2 is a good budget. Not sure I could top that:) Makes me wonder what ppl are thinking getting rid of something so beautiful. Maybe into some modern look no doubt. Lucky you!

    OMG $2??!! That's amazing! I love your quatrefoil mirror! Hmmm I've found lots of good deals (I think) but my best is probably an antique LV turn of the century trunk for $50 worth 3-4k easily *winks* Vanna

    Oh, wow! What a deal! It looks great, too. And see? It's so easy to change out things when we didn't have to pay much for them. Yep. Yard sales, estate sales and thrift shops are the best way to go.

    ha! I am back again... to say that for the last two years I did no Christmas baking -- just couldn't get into it.
    But this year, I'm stepping up to the plate, although I hope it's not a plate FILLED WITH COOKIES.

    Cause that's something I do NOT need! I think I need a padlock on the cookie tins.

    And now ... I need to step away from the computer before moss grows up my North side.
