Some butlers in years past used them to see what guests were arriving. I like the idea that maybe fairies use them for mirrors :)<BR/><BR/>ET: You obviously needed that sleep! Good for you.<BR/><BR/>Tim: Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Mad: Awww. Your photo is cool! Love the idea of self-portraits from these.<BR/><BR/>DW: Hmm. Maybe these aren't as worldwide as we thought. But they sure are fun in their place. And yes, about that machine. Actually, I think my son would enjoy making one of those himself!<BR/><BR/>Elle: HA!

It does depend on what the owner wants reflected.<BR/>I like them anyway I see them though!<BR/>I believe in fairies so anything with extra properties is welcome in my garden.<BR/><BR/>Happy Father's Day, I hope you're having some nice reflections of your dad. <3 JzJozeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235369469366288477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-1150646211627503872006-06-18T17:56:00.000+02:002006-06-18T17:56:00.000+02:00KPK: :)Ruth: Awww.
