Framed ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a small, but growing collection of antique frames
that I've kept for years in a wooden crate...

all shapes, sizes and manners of finishes...

my intentions were to use them for needlework or painted art.

when I redecorated my sewing studio,
I needed something for the bare walls
and reached for the frames...

I grouped by size, color or wood ~
never really paying much attention to details.

they looked great, but were empty still ~
so I perused another favorite collection of mine...
my antique photos and cabinet cards...

...pinned them to the wall inside the frames
and

viola' !!!

Instant Gallery

that I can change on a whim
with fabrics, magazine pages, photos and yes,

...even needlework...

why store away your collections
when you can put them to good use?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm off to work in the shop today,then to the PO & bank...

perhaps a stop in a local antiques shop to hunt for
.....what else?
{...more frames!}

Hoping you are all snug in your cosy little homes ~
...and that it's stopped snowing where you are!!

Blessings from the farm,
