You see, I get so busy gathering all my supplies before I begin my project, I forget to take the before photo. You've done it once or maybe twice...yes? (Lie to me ok! ha!)
So, I'm starting with the back and you need to try to imagine it has definition, okie dokie?!
I call it, Neptune's Daughter
Filled with vintage baubles and seashells found nestled near the shore of remembrance
As she sits upon her throne, she dreams of a love lost forever
How her heart swelled with happiness when he held her close
One day he left promising to return to her
Each day she would watch the sea
hoping to spot him
sailing back to her
until she came to understand
he was lost forever
She still searches for him
\
but only finds mementos
that remind her of happier days
with him
She carefully placed each memento of love around her mirror
So that each day, when she gazes into the mirror
she sees herself wrapped in warmth of his love
*sniffle* I need a tissue.
Soooo corny ha! Sometimes corny is a good thing...yes? (again, feel free to lie! ha!)
Ok, I must dash off. I don't know about you, but I'm still trying to catch up on my visiting!
Don't tell anyone but...for a brief moment I considered using both the laptop and the desktop simultaneously so I could visit two at once. Knowing me, I'd probably do something idiotic like mix up the comments...BABY?? WHAT BABY DOES SHE MEAN??!! ha!
As I said to a dear friend the other day, I'm just a boob going through life without malice...or a net! ;)
Thanks so much for spending some time with me!

Hi Tina! I don't think that I have ever seen anything as lovely as this mirror. The thought that you put into creating it is beyond comment. Every little bauble, shell, stone and mermaid that you put into the design tells such a lovely story.
I don't think your story is corny at all, it's sweet and charming.
I can imagine the time that went into creating the mirror.....it's pretttttttttttttttttttie!
hugs

I love, love, love that mirror. You are awesome. I love your story, too. You have inspired me with your creativity.
Tina, This turned out so nicely! Love all the shells and the baubles. This is unique to you so you won't have to worry about "offending" anyone. LOL

This is just what a mermaid like me would need in her home. Great Idea!

Absolutely beautiful! I'd be too busy and enchanted with looking at all of the prettiness to look in the mirror! :)
Thanks for visiting,

Love it! I saw a wreath with shells on it at Tues. Morning recently and thought about buying it and add vintage jewelry, but it was more than I wanted to spend.
Tina,
That mirror just might be THE MOST FANTASTIC thing I've seen! Now I have that weird little gut ache I get when I see something I WANT! I think that's called lust--you know, when you want something someone else owns?? in which case it is SIN! Help!
:)
