My mother got a comb, brush and hand mirror with a long handle from my dad when they got married (he rarely bought gifts that weren't practical) and a music box too. I held that mirror many a time when my mom or I brushed my long hair as a child while I imagined myself many things. Eventually the handle broke off but the mirror was still used. In fact at 89, my mom still has the mirror and the music box. I hope my older sister doesn't want it lol.<br /><br />catslady5(at)aol.vomcatsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-55537360572380769882011-08-20T16:32:44.109+01:002011-08-20T16:32:44.109+01:00Love the box with the mirror--I collect antique bo...Love the box with the mirror--I collect antique boxes. <br /><br />A mirror story? My bedroom set was a blonde wood laminate, with the rounded wood tops and a ton of inlay work. The mirror on the vanity was a huge round one. I was too tall to sit with my legs under the vanity. It went to a family friend at auction, after my dad passed and Mom was in a nursing home. <br /><br />Thanks for an interesting article! juleejadams@gmail.comJulee J.

I ...How beautiful, and how fascinating is the box!<br /><br />I love mirrors, and I remember the sad story behind one at Craigston Castle, that I visited last year. Not only was it documented to have come from Versailles, but the rest of the room's content (much also from Versailles) had been destroyed by fire about 50 years or so earlier, giving the room a sad feel and making the mirror an even rarer survival.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420150980378381269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-89217488255674198782011-08-19T09:16:53.159+01:002011-08-19T09:16:53.159+01:00Gosh Louise, that mirror is beautiful.

It was actually multiple reflections of yourself, because of the irregular curvature, I was told. <br /><br />But it always looked to me as if there were more people through the looking glass. <br /><br />Oh dear, I feel a story coming on. And I don't have TIME.Jenny Haddonhttp://www.jennyhaddon.comnoreply@blogger.com
