One of my favorite gifts to give people for all occasions-----anniversaries, newbornbabies, birthdays and so on----is a framed photograph.
Usually, it's of the person who is going to receive the gift or friends and family members of that person.
Consequently, I'm always on the lookout for pretty frames and stash them in a big old-fashioned trunk in my bedroom.
If the backs are made from a black, fuzzy material, like velvet, I freshen it by running wide pieces of tape over the material and lifting it. Works like a charm every time!
Recently, I found the frame shown in this post and thought it was so pretty.
The price was good, too, as it was less than two bucks!
Someone had cut a piece of rose-covered wallpaper and tucked it behind the glass. What a great idea!
I might even keep it the way it is, rather than insert a photo. It's that pretty.
DO YOU LIKE TO GIVE FRAMED PHOTOS AS GIFTS?

This is a gorgeous frame. Like the idea of framed wallpaper too..I miss my wallpapered kitchen!
I am much too lazy to search them out! That one is a beauty! Good job Susie!
I love a nice frame! Your frame is a gift that would be very welcome, it's beautiful! I've never been to the Mark Twain Museum in CT, but it sounds like a wonderful place to visit. I often visit the home museums of my favorite authors.
Nice frame Susan...I have many you've sent me. Lovely...
What a good idea. I like the idea of freshening up good frames and storing them for future gift-giving. I also lie the idea of putting a pretty piece of fabric in the frame until it is used for a photo.
Hi Susan... your frame is gorgeous.... I always like to have empty frames in my house... they come in handy for popping photos in and as you say .. always ready to be gifted.. xxx I like to put birthday cards in frames too....after they have been read ... great memories... xxx
