I found the Fragments! I decided to study this little gem while grieving for its missing family members and saw this on the front of the cellophane envelope
and this on the back.
Now, someone who is alert and has brain engagement would know immediately, this is not the same. But me? I turned that little envelope over and over and over, trying to understand why they printed the wrong photo for that design. But since floss tubers have enamored me to the sound of crinkling cellophane, I enjoyed it. The light bulb finally came on and I realized the cards were statically stuck together as one. One mystery solved. Now where is the Rook and did I really sell it?
I stopped at Michael's while waiting for Carole's appt to be over, and found several frames for old family photos. I like simple, but for old photos that doesn't work. I am really pleased at how the finishes go so well with the photos.
My mom and her family .... and my Italian grandparents.
I have more to frame, unsure of a wall or table display. Depends on how many in the group.
Enjoy your day!!

I am glad you found your pattern and I am so very happy with your frames! The pictures look fabulous!!
I love the look of old family pictures in newer frames. They go from a little creepy looking and musty smelling to more cohesive with our present day decor. Guests seem to actually look at them more often.
Love the old photographs, it must have felt so special at the time to have a picture taken. Seems incredible nowadays.
I'm happy something went right for you :)
Yay!!! (with respect to the mystery of the fragmented series of Fragments and the success with the framing....) And, AHEM, on the rook..... I will look in my stash. ~Robin~
Those frames were just right for old photographs!
Marly: You always seem to make me giggle, I would have never thought of the sticking together problem.
I love old vintage photos, the frames are beautiful.
Thank-you for sharing.
Have a wonderful week.

I agree the frames from Michaels do the trick for me too. I have a Family Wall and actually have a number of old family frames but for the rest I have gone to Michaels. Just last week I pick one up for my new little granddaughter, Eliza, born last month. I love my Wall.
Beautiful frames for your family pictures and I think you are looking so much on your grandmother!
Glad you found some charts again.
Have a peacefull day!

What great family photos Marly! We have a bunch hanging on the wall going up our stairs and I love looking at them.
Aren't old family photos the best??!! So glad you had them framed and are enjoying them.
