Framed Memories

I have been so busy entertaining guests on their first visit to Ireland.. Now that they have crossed over the Irish sea to visit London, I have some time on my hands again for crafts again!

I put together some old photos and then dug out both new and old embellishments from my stash to give it a vintage look. Memories are arrested in time..so I thought that the wooden clock would be most apt. In the 70s - 90s, letters were handwritten or typed and the wooden typewriter came in handy. We also had scrabble tiles and board games were simply so engaging...

Gave this chipboard frame a makeover. Decoupaged and embellished it with things from my kitchen (chillies, star anise...) from the garden (leaf, fern) and from the beach (sea shells)
