I need to get my son's painting framed but I'm sort of getting used to it taped to the wall so it keeps being forgotten about.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-24858292680554470982022-01-28T11:42:40.789+00:002022-01-28T11:42:40.789+00:00Me too - I will definitely still be wearing them i...Me too - I will definitely still be wearing them in shops and other crowded public places.<br /><br />If the prints had been standard sizing, I'd maybe have gone for Amazon ready mades but they're not and - well - why not?<br />(no need to answer that last!!!)<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-66245235558796434672022-01-28T11:40:49.150+00:002022-01-28T11:40:49.150+00:00Yes, we have sunshine too now.

SO very welcome, isn't it?<br />I think getting a picture well framed is a bit of a craft in itself and even more so when one goes for the reflection free glass. Over time, it will be worth it though. His workroom looked very professional, the range of frames was excellent and I am very much hoping he does a decent job because I do have a few more items that I am considering having framed.<br />I hope you gets what you pays for! :-)<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-76752537140401721682022-01-28T09:36:26.037+00:002022-01-28T09:36:26.037+00:00I've just got back from town and was relieved ...I've just got back from town and was relieved to see that a lot of people are still wearing masks. I think the big supermarkets have asked people to continue to wear them, which suits me fine!<br /><br />Framing can be an expensive job. Our friend used to own his own framing shop so he only ever charged us mates rates. I dread to think how much it would cost now!Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-78069042549447084222022-01-28T08:33:25.695+00:002022-01-28T08:33:25.695+00:00Sunshine here yesterday and this morning - much mo...Sunshine here yesterday and this morning - much more cheerful.<br />I had a shock last time I got something framed too especially as years ago we had a friend in the Smallholders Society who would frame things just for the cost of materials and some fruit from the garden!
