Have you ever had a piece that had several lives?  It just kept changing?  Such is the case with these mirrors.

I'll take you back to the beginning...

In the beginning, there was this.
I primed them.

And painted & distressed them.  And they sat.

Then a dear friend saw them & loved them.  Only she wanted them in the same color as the Aegean Blue Dresser (here's a reminder)
I aim to please, so this is what I did.




And I think they look fabulous!

And, funny thing ~ since my friend 'claimed' them I've had two other people try to buy them.  But not a single taker before that :)

Don't forget, if you're local, the Holiday Shopping Spree is Wednesday & Thursday of this week.  I'll be there in the role of "Elf" (aka helper/go-fer/volunteer!) and I would love to see you!

Thanks!
Kathie
