Day 1: The Mermaid Sink


This bird wash belonged to my great-great grandmother, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved it. To my childish eyes, the pristine whitewashed lawn decoration shone like a pearl, and the oscillated lip, complemented by the design along the basin, appeared as if it was made for a mermaid. Although we now use it as a flowerbed, its classic and unassuming elegance is still breathtaking and retains some magic reminiscent of my childhood.
