When my mother gave me this picture of myself taken when I was three, my aunt told her to, "throw away that ugly frame, just give her the picture." But mother said she liked the frame and ignored her sister. Some months later my aunt gave me a lovely silver frame and told me to put this picture in it and throw away "that tacky thing." Obviously I listen and take suggestions as well as my mother did. ;-)The frame doesn't "go" with anything but I couldn't bear to throw it away. I was three when the picture was taken and figure the frame is about my age. No sense in getting rid of things just because they're old, right? I do wonder where mother bought the frame though.

My favorite frame with me in it is an oval one that has electrical tape and an old hotel plastic key holding it together. You are either posing or are not happy in that picture.
I love that frame! I love things that bring stories to mind.
Rosemary - hmm, sounds like a story re that old hotel plastic key. I'm definitely not happy in the picture - mother & I had just moved to L.A. and sister was with aunt & uncle in MN. Lots of stuff going on for a 3-year old.
Mom - I'm not sure if I love or loathe it but I definitely recall the "throw out that tacky thing" story every time I look at it! I'm keeping it.
