Honestly, I didn't think this matte configuration would be that hard to find. Oh, I did find two versions of it, but they had the worst frames ever. One had a large wood frame, fairly traditional, but painted silver. The other was what I can only imagine was an attempt at 'rustic' with a boxy rough wood frame painted a disturbing beige-green-grey, with a matte of the same color in a corrugated texture.As for the rest of the multi-picture frames, I'm so tired of seeing squares, ovals, and openings the size of a postage stamp. Oh hubris, how you've led me to exasperation; I wrongly thought this year's Mother's Day gift would be a breeze. I'm starting to think I should just get my mom another book of Sudoku puzzles.
Or maybe I should just frame the shot that feels like the perfect gift to come from my brother; I know she loves that photo of him. Hmm...

Or maybe you could just say you've decided to celebrate Mother's day like they do in Norway, and ours is in February, which will leave you plenty of time ;)
ReplyDeleteScholiast: I think I'd have to move to Norway for that to work. Now that's an idea! ;)
ReplyDeleteKevin: Tempting, very tempting. Alas time is too short, USPS being what it is. Maybe next time. ;)
this is why i have so many unframed pics. . .
ReplyDeletei am sure she will love whatever you end up giving her!
Sizz: Exactly. I blogged a whole saga last fall about getting 2 pics enlarged, and they're still sitting around unframed because they isn't a standard matte size to accompany them.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks, I know she will. I just want it to be worthy of it, y'know? Anyway, I've got a lead on an idea so I should get to it while she's out.
