DeleteJust before Christmas I found an oval mirror almost an exact match as the beveled mirror (bottom left) in your mirror collection photo. I still covet that mirror. It was priced at $200. I don't know if that was a good price or not.
ReplyDelete'You've Got Mail' is one of my favorite movies... if not THE favorite. Yes, I thought of that movie the second I saw the typewriters.
I agree with you on the doll heads. (smile)
Take care and it's nice to 'meet' you.
Oh, my goodness. I'm going to bookmark this post. There is so much to see, that I want to come back again and again for inspiration. Yes, the doll heads did creep me out, too.
ReplyDeleteIt took a lot of time putting this post together and for that I say, THANK YOU !!!
Your blogging sister, Connie :)

DeleteI feel like I need to collect more stuff now! :)
ReplyDelete...espcially retro china and vintage trunks...
Great collections and displayed so well. I love the dough bowls at Itsy Bitsy Pieces. I have not seen them on her blog.
ReplyDeleteI've been born with clutterphobia but some of your pictures could almost cure me ;) ...

Amazing collections, thanks for sharing these! I love the hand mirrors (backsides) and the silhouette's and the graters. But the doll heads are creepy and some collections are just too much stuff! It's interesting what people collect, though. xx
