I hope that everyone had a Blessed Thanksgiving; we sure did. We spent the day with our daughter and her family.
Quite a while ago, I won a print from Carol at At My Painting Room, her Etsy shop. The title is Red Hollyhocks, and she even signed it! I love the bright colors of the red against the blue background.
I promised to frame it and blog about it once it was hung.
I went to Michael's and selected a frame. It was $24.99 and on sale for 40% off. I felt that the expense was worthwhile since the print is so lovely. Well, it's finally hanging just around the corner from my kitchen and family room where it can be easily seen each day.
I'll make a confession. When I was inserting the print into the frame, the glass snapped! (I've TOLD you that I was not handy!) Well, I just went ahead and framed it anyway without the glass because thoughtful Carol had it wrapped in a plastic. You might be able to detect the little wrinkle when you click on the picture to enlarge it, but I think it works.
Pay Carol a visit at At My Painting Room, her Etsy shop. You might find something you'd like to have or give to that special someone.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad your Thanksgiving was a happy one. How can one not be happy when the food is always a special meal made with loving hands.

ReplyDeleteI love and enjoy most all artwork,especially oil paintings. I think you did the right thing in framing this one. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely! I will head over to her shop. I will do comments tomorrow on these ladies. School takes so long to do with the two kids and the radiation is at a hospital about 20 miles away, so there goes the rest of the day. I hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sally!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Love it. You are so lucky to win it.
Happy Blue Monday
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring me today! The frame you chose looks great! You do need to replace the glass, though, to protect the print. A glass shop will only charge a few dollars for a piece that size. Sometimes Michaels, Hobby Lobby or AC Moore sells pre-cut glass in their frame departments.
So nice of you to blog about my Hollyhocks!
Carol
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteAlready fix the link. Sorry.
Hi Sally,
