Since your frame has an easel back,...Hi Catherine! Since your frame has an easel back, could you not use it as a vanity mirror by replacing the photo with a mirror and then use your casting as a wall hung piece? <br />I know the guilt that you are feeling though, and I have felt the same, but then I justify any alterations by saying that rather than being hidden away, it now has a new lease on life..... and then I don't feel the guilt as acutely... sigh :/<br /><br />elizabeth elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-2371850216993560712014-12-08T16:40:04.494-06:002014-12-08T16:40:04.494-06:00Precioso marco y foto.

It is not a copy it has a very antique looking back.

I'm liking Josje's idea a lot!!! (If you do take the picture out you won't throw it away though, will you, it's really endearing and I'm sure you could find a mini drawer to pop it in - if you truly don't want it I'd find it a home in a flash!).<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog birthday, you are so sweet Catherine and I genuinely return the compliment in spades. xxxNorma Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601307344195166189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-81551342099451458122014-11-16T08:59:46.692-06:002014-11-16T08:59:46.692-06:00Thank you Brian.Thank you Brian.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-10773673538338653342014-11-16T08:59:19.521-06:002014-11-16T08:59:19.521-06:00Thank you Jonquil.

I think you are probably right, it wasn't made for a dollshouse, as in the antique shops here there are lots of these tiny frames, usually with tiny photos of babies, children and sweethearts. Yours, however, is especially fine and in scale, what a great find!<br /><br />I wouldn't feel too guilty about taking the easel off the back - you are giving it a new lease of life!Jonquilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288393310275959112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-90699192892220882122014-11-15T22:45:00.369-06:002014-11-15T22:45:00.369-06:00Thank you Betsy.
