Everyone remember this frame? I finally finished painting it. I stuck with the red.
My son gave me a framed antique seed packet for Mother's Day. It is one of my favorite flowers, sweet peas, but the frame it came in was a rather rustic affair and not the least bit fitting to the delicate sweetness of the sweet pea.
So I finished painting the frame and put the seed packet into its new home. I love the juxtaposition of the grandeur of the frame against the simple charm of the packet.
Okay now I think I need to go cut out some fabric or I am going to be mighty red-faced come August 1st.
Oh very pretty !!! Clarice
Does the expression “opposites attract” come into play here? I certainly think so. This framed piece is now fantastic! You go girl! Pat at birdnestontheground
The frame and its contents are perfect.
Check out my blog and the link to Patti’s blog to see her two color quilt. She has almost finished her top and it is exquisite! It makes mine look like the work of a third grader.
It’s gorgeous. You made the right choice.
That is awfully pretty.
LOVELY – and I love the antique seed packet. The design is great.

Ok, I loved it in blue, but it is equally pretty in red. What with me being a big red fan and all. Love the pacet in there as well.

I would never have thought to paint a frame that color but it looks great. Thanks for the tip.
