The vanity comes from America. It's  a tray to put on your (toilet) table on which you display beautiful things. But also on a sideboard such a tray does not look out of place and you can easily make it yourself. Great idea, we thought, for Mother's Day! Turns out, the kids really like the display a lot too and they also have lots of beloved things, of course. Before you know it you're making two more. This may turn out to be a big job after all!
