silver sunday .. photo frames as dressing mirrors

one of the things i like to do is collect vintage styled and antique styled silverplate picture frames .. i have rod cut mirrors for the frames and then use them for dressing or vanity mirrors .. they always interest people and they have a wonderful look ..

here are some we have in the warehouse now .. mixed with some odd silverplate items .. the candlesticks are not old but have a great look ..


and since it is Silver Sunday .. i thought i would throw in a picture of some galvanized items - i love the old water jug used as a picket sign holder .. and the flower buckets are not old, but we sell them very well at $5.75 each ..

go visit Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal for more participants of Silver Sunday sponsored by Gypsy Fish Journal ..

laterz,

troy

    Love the high end low end looks of the silver. The galvanized usefulness as opposed to the shiny frivolity...fabulous! I also loved the idea of using the frames as mirrors.

    What a great idea to use the frames with mirror as vanity trays. These would really add to any vignette!

    Troy and Rod, Thanks you for allowing us to come and visit with you last Friday. Troy, so sorry I missed you. I'm going to hoard most of the pretty things I found. Love all the creations (lamp shades, pillows, etc). Thanks for my mom's gift and for making us feel welcome. We will be back. Take care and blessings to you all,Marta
