A Present From London

Before we moved to London, we had several going away parties and such and my Annie gave me a large visa card to spend on necessities...awwww, she does spoil me so. Anyway, since the London plan didn't exactly pan-out, so to speak, when I returned, she told me to spend it on something I love. I thought really hard wabout it and I had a few contenders. But, when all was said and done, I just couldn't forget this!


It's called the Beaded Venetian. I love this mirror and I bought it yesterday!  It 36X48 and 64 lbs, so it's also a beast. Picture this if you will, my friend Summer and I carpooled yesterday morning, and she has the tiniest old-school ford escort hatchback that is hot pink, I kid you not. So, when a client returned this mirror in the afternoon and I proclaimed my love for the mirror and paid for it, I forgot to inform Summer that we would be hauling this beast home in the back of the world smallest car. Again, stretch your mind around this, two girls lifting this size mirror up 3 flights of stairs and thru 3 doors. Can you say "PIVOT, PIVOT?" I almost peed my pants. 

Nonetheless is it beautiful and the boys cannot get over seeing their reflections as they walk by. Will gets puffy-tail and looks like Halloween cat when he see himself. It's probably mean, but Dave and I encourage him to walk by because it is SO entertaining!

So, Thank you Annie for making me get something I really want. I love, Love, LOVE this mirror and can't wait until your bum knee heals and you can see my beaded venetian in all it glory! Another reason why I got deported for a reason.!

wow - that's lovely! Do you need a complete afternoon on Charley to hang this heavy beast up??? It could be worth it as it is so heavy and we all know it would be done the most effecient way.
