Here's something you can do to snazz up old mirrors and use up vintage trinket collections. This old mirror was left in my circa 1930 house, i embellished it with a vintage gold frame and old metal praying hands. It hangs in an entryway nook in my house.

The other one has all kinds of stuff on it, old fat ceramic robin, vintage coins and postage stamps under glass, old jewelry etc.

missenorita I made these years ago and back then I used Marine Goop on everthing and it's worked really well. I'm not sure if they still make it but i've had some trouble with other Goop brands and think maybe they changed the formula. If anyone knows of a foolproof glue let me know!

CottageElements writes: Cat, I particularly love the shape of the first mirror. How fortunate you were that it was left there for you. Never thought to embellish with a frame within the mirror. Thanks for sharing!

It's fun seeing what you come up with in your posts! Glad to have you.

LuAnn writes: I really like the look of the made frame around the mirror. What a cleaver idea. I really do like what you do with found objects--all these one of a kind art pieces. You certainly do good work!
