Mirror mirror on the wall.....

So the story behind 'the mirrors' goes like this. Erin and I grew up together, south of Rochester, NY. Erin lived in Mendon, NY and I in Lima, NY. We met in 1987 and have been best friends ever since. 

Erin's parents recently purchased a home in Ithaca, NY and over the holidays she went to visit them. She has always been a treasure hunter, art lover and antique collector. We are definitely 'two peas in a pod'.

My phone 'beeps' and there is a text from Erin with 'mirror photos'. She's found this magnificent mirror in an antique shop for $65. She texted me to see if she should buy it, 'YES - most definitely buy it', was my text back, and she did!

The neatest part of this whole story is that we found our mirrors the same day  and exchanged stories in utter amazement. We definitely BOTH have 'heirloom taste' and a passion for decor. 

And might I add that Erin is extremely photogenic. I have mentioned to her many times that when she decides to retire from her 'engineering day job', she should pursue modeling! Don't you agree? 

Cheers to our 17 year friendship Erin!
