| Where can I find Mexican tin or tile mirrors in this area? Preferably MOCO but the metro area is fine. Thanks. |

I would ask a friend in the Southwest to buy one for you and mail it to you.
Or eBay. I just checked and there are many listed. |

| Buy a picture frame and frame a mirror with it. I think Michael's can do it. |

What the hell does that have to do with Mexican mirrors? You obviously don't know what OP is talking about. |

| Eastern Market flea on Saturdays. |

| Try consignment shops that cater to foreign service and military (Vinson's Hall in McLean -- I know not MoCo but you may have something similar near Bethesda Naval). |

| Try Novica (online). |

| Actually, I found a place in Annapolis. They sell Mexican mirrors (the tin kind with tile in them) at a silver/jewelry store at the bottom of the shopping area (across from the pier area). They run about the same price like you can find in LA |

| There is a place in Georgetown. Phoenix I think. |

Yes, they have a lot of them in various sizes. On Wisconsin Ave near P street or thereabouts. |

| The Phoenix would be my first stop. Also Gossypia in Old Town Alexandria. You'd never know it from their storefront, but they have a big collection of Mexican folk art upstairs. |

| Oh, one more thought: Ten Thousand Villages. I'm not sure they have the tin ones, but they tend to have a selection of the tiled ones. There's a store on Elm Ave. in Bethesda. |

There is an incredible mark up for these things in the DC area. They cost a fraction in Texas or anywhere else SW. Even cheaper if you have friends in Mexico that can ship one up for you (or if you plan on traveling anytime soon). Even with the added cost of shipping and insurance you will still end up ahead, and probably with a nicer mirror than is available here. |
