Usually I don't pay professionals to frame anything. I do it myself. But in this case I had to take a back seat and let them do their work. You see I found these second hand tea towels for a song and I really wanted them to be a showcase in our main living room. So I paid up and got them framed. I have to admit they look fabulous. To buy them finished like this in a store would have cost a whole lot more. Even thrifty girls can spurge once in awhile hey? Yipee it's the weekend. Have a ball of a time. Talk next week. Simone xx
Wow! Never imagined they were towels ! They look lovely, and the colors are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous. Such a great idea for a completely different type of artwork.
ReplyDeleteSimone,
ReplyDeleteYou clever girl. The tea towels look terrific. Are they under glass? Love the vivid colors!

OMG. So fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteOh, they do look fabulous! Yes, sometimes when you need custom size frames and professional mounting it's time to give over to someone else. But look how wonderful they are! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Robin

ReplyDeleteSame here, Simone. Sometimes a pro is the only way to do it justice.
