Venetian Glass Tri-Fold Vanity Mirror

Venetian Glass Tri-Fold Vanity Mirror

** Remember my 1 yr. Blogiversary is coming up Thursday ( TOMORROW! ). Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a few surprise goodies from me. Winner will be announced late Thursday evening!**
I have absolutely fallen in love with Venetian Glass Mirrors! The above picture is one that I currently have on auction here right now in my store, ANGELIC ACCENTS on eBay.

I was thumbing through the February 2008 issue of HARPER'S BAZAAR (the one with Jennifer Lopez on the cover) & on page 220, I found the following pics of a tri-fold almost exactly like mine.

Wouldn't you just love to have this dressing room to get ready in?!?! I believe I could face anything the day had to throw at me if I started the morning out in this decadent room. Very reminiscent of the 1930's & 40's ART DECO styling with all the gorgeous mirrored furniture pieces!

Maybe I'm just living in the wrong era. . . .

Snapped these pics the other day while I was visiting my mother. She has become as big a fan of my dear friend, Celeste of La Rea Rose, as I am. Celeste painted the above pink oval tray & adorable little pink egg for her.

This antique marble-topped washstand is one of my favorite pieces of Mom's. It sits in her entry hall. My daddy made the beautiful cherub lamp from vintage parts, and then painted the mirrored plateau it sits on.

Another of Celeste's beautiful trays on the sideboard. Note the precious cherub holding the glass coasters. Hmmm, that might just be small enough for me to slide into a pocket. Think Mother would notice me wearing a heavy overcoat into the house in steamy April???

Tomorrow is my 1 yr. anniversary, so I'll post again tomorrow evening very late when I draw the winner of my surprise giveaway!

Hugs,
