I found this mirror measuring 20ins x 20ins for £2.95 which was duly bagged, its condition is a little rough but with the wide frame it give me plenty of scope to embellishment. On one of my stays with Marc he enthralled and inspired me with a tale of a set of mirrors he made for a restaurant that were wonderful confections of sprayed sea shells, pearls and “diamonds” mermaids and divers ……. so perhaps this will be the start of my own version …..
OBJECT OF DESIRE ………
…… And this is the mirror I left behind and will probably regret forever not buying …. but at £10 …. it was a bit too much to buy on a whim ….. if had it been a fiver I would have had it ……..

We had a mirror just like that second one when I was growing up in the fifties. It hung in the hall and I thought it was the height of fashion. In the sixties, when I was a teenager,I thought it was terribly old fashioned and was forever trying to persuade Mum to replace it. She wouldn't. Dad still has it on the wall in his house, but is always complaining about dusting the 'fiddly bits'. I keep telling him I'll take it off his hands, but he won't part with it.
