A Frame in a Frame
Don't you just love it when something just comes "together"?
Completely by accident.... and better than if you had planned it.
I LOVE vintage frames! I have lots and lots of them. Whenever I find a fabulous one..... I pick it up even if I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. That will come in time.
I bought this vintage print a long time ago and it needed a frame. I wanted something special and knew someday I would find just the "right" one. Well.... it had been several years and lots of frames later.... and I still hadn't found "the one".
I was in the basement looking through my collection of old frames and bingo! I had one with the "right" green and one with a lovely gold........ I put them together and they fit perfectly! They were even the right size!! Finally..... my vintage print found it's perfect frame.
The outside frame is a wonderful chippy green (you can't tell because of the glare) and the center frame is a fabulous ornate gold with great patina. Oh.... what a lovely pair!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
Elizabeth

I love vintage frames too! Love that pretty print in yours. So nice that you came by! I have been enjoying your beautiful tag from Jeanette's gift. It is a small blogging world after all isn't it?
Shopping at home seems to be a thread for a lot of us this week! It always makes me smile when I read something and think, "Wow, me too!" Your pictures are lovely as always. Happy Pink Saturday! Have a Blessed week!
A perfect frame! Don't you love it when things come together! You just gave an idea!

Oh- Elizabeth. You put together the most beautiful and romantic things. I always feel like I have been brushed by a sweet ruffled touch of feminine sweetness when I visit her. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday- xoDiana
I love the way the petticoat and tussy mussy are hanging on the frame, so pretty!
What a great find and it is always exciting when you can bring different things together to make something beautiful. Thank you for visiting my blog, hope you come again.
The print and the vintage frame are marvellous

Hello Elizabeth, I also love a rich gold frame with a bit of wear upon it. I have changed a few of them out over the last 20 years, now I wish I had kept them WHAAA!
I think you ought to do some pictures of your vintage bike.
Maybe we could start a new trend :)
Have a wonderful week!
Blessings, Roxy
Elizabeth, I'm such a dingbat! I had comments sitting in my "waiting for moderation" section and completely forgot I even have the feature enabled! So, needless to say, I'm a bit behind.
Your frames look gorgeous! I do love it when things turn out better than I'd expected too:) Off to check out your previous post now!
Simply elegant and beautiful! Thanks for linking up at My Favorite Posts Show Off Weekend Party! Hope to see you again next week.
