I found this rather large vintage hand mirror at an estate sale a few weeks back for pennies. I remember the look on the ladies face as I checked out and paid for my treasures...
Who would possible want a broken mirror???
Well, I would!!!
She just didn't see what I could see... Silly lady ;-)

The brown paper backing was stamped 1947....This oldie but goodie was in need of a makeover!

After soaking and scraping away paper and adhesive, it was high time for a new paint job.
Did I mention that I love chalkboard paint??
This was the end result...I enjoy the little bit of whimsy it adds to my garden.
Now I hope my garden catches my drift!
