Sometimes, when seeing something we consider stunning, it makes a big impression.
Such was the case inside a Goodwill thrift store in Vermont.
There, in the furniture section, was a three-way mirror-----the back and two sides, all attached.
It was very heavy and folded together for transport.
The price tag said $15.
I bought it.
It has come with me during three moves in the past three years.
Today it rests on a small dresser that has also survived quite a few new homes, including one in Arizona for 12 years!
The pink and gold piece of cloth underneath the old-fashioned lamp came from Italy.
My daughter gifted it to me on one of her trips there.
Some decorating items are here to stay!
DO YOU HAVE FURNITURE OR HOUSEHOLD GOODS YOU HAVE HELD ON TO FOR A LONG TIME?

I have two photos of my son and daughter at age two which I hope to never part with.
Ooooo, that mirror is so pretty, Susan. And I love the gold cloth underneath the lamp. How special that it came from Italy. Yes, some things we just can't part with no matter how many moves we make. This was a great deal at the thrift store. It adds something to your dresser. I didn't realize you lived in Arizona for so many years.
To answer your question.....my china cabinet I've had for many years. I thought I'd have to let it go when I moved up here, cause this house is small, but somehow I've always managed to find a place for it. It is dear to me.
It's nice to see that you are decorating again. It must be fun for you.
