Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday

This is our dining room
The stain glass window was here when we bought the house 
The buffet is a Craig's list $50 find
The Buffet also holds some of my favorite  vintage treasures
As you can see we have a few mirrors on the buffet
but my favorite is the
~Barbola Mirror~



This little Barbola Mirror was made in England
Vintage English Barbola mirrors are beveled mirrors on a wooden easel frame
with hand painted flowers 



They were made beginning in the early 1900's and were very popular



There are many sizes and shapes
as well as color combination's
and Victorian Barbola Mirrors are still highly collectible treasures
do you know how difficult it is to take a picture of a mirror and not be in it


Here is a advertisement for the Victorian Barbola Mirror
from the Bennett and Johnson Company
London England

I love to imagine the lovely Victorian women who received this mirror brand new 
My Husband found this mirror for me at the Portobello Flea Market in London.
I Love that Man of Mine
We had so much fun treasure hunting together
What a fabulous gift then and now
