It's not about the frame


I recently bought these three small metal frames - no pictures inside, not very inspiring and easily passed by - not by me though!


Also in my possession, a set of notecards depicting Victorian ladies, squirreled away for the right moment.


With the addition of some vintage lace, they have now become something more desirable.


Sometimes a frame is needed but it's not about the frame, the pictures are quite fussy and didn't need much, the lace just softens the effect.  I think they look rather fine.

    It was lovely to see you on Sunday - I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to chat. Hope you had a good time and enjoyed your visit to Dairy House.
