I love to browse through antiques shops and imagine how things would have been used. Was this brush set used for a first date? Given to her on her wedding day? Did she gaze into the hand mirror to check her appearance one last time before heading to the church to bury a loved one? Did her children and grandchildren play dress up and use it to pretend they were her?
What images come to mind when you see something like this?
