Mirrored Broom
We all know the old yellow brush brooms. But as technology progresses, we no longer look at their faces. There are only 15-20 tradesmen left in Edirne who make a living from this business. The reason for this is these mirrored vacuum cleaners. It is not possible to come to Edirne for a visit and not return without buying it.! We seem to hear you ask where this mirrored vacuum cleaner came from. There are of course many stories about it. In the past, brides used to know if their mother-in-law was angry when they were cleaning by looking at the mirror on this broom. For the girls of wedding dress age, this broom was hung outside the door. If the bride had a mirrored broom in her dowry, it meant that the bride was attentive to her home, neat and tidy. Brides who were offended by their mother-in-law wanted to say "turn back and look at yourself" by turning the mirrored side to their mother-in-law with exaggerated movements. Another remarkable story is: Once upon a time, there was a fancy bride. AynalisupurgeShe doesn't like to clean, she always looks at her beauty in the mirror. Her mother-in-law couldn't take it anymore and said, 'Hey, come on, hey, take that broom, clean it and take care of yourself again'. It is not known whether there are those who continue their traditions as in these old stories, but these laborers who protect their culture stubbornly continue their art in the name of promotion.
