Missy and Fifi

As I mentioned yesterday I wanted to introduce you to Missy and her dog Fifi.

Isn’t she adorable? She is in a cute little frame that was made in Italy. I wonder who she really is. I think Missy suits her just fine so that is what I’m calling her. 100_8516

Missy and Fifi (don’t those names just fit them?) are pictured on what I think is a satin fabric. The whole frame was just so cute with two little cherubs looking over them.

Since this is a smaller frame, less than 8” tall, I decided I needed to bring attention to it by framing it in a larger metal frame I had.

Missy and Fifi are so special that they needed a second frame outlining them as well.

100_8518 Did you notice that the largest frame has cherubs on it too?

100_8525 The largest frame is from a Goodwill mirror in all of it’s 70’s gold glory. Usually it is a bit too much for my taste but I love the attention that it brings to Missy and her dog Fifi. The darker metal frame seems to tone down the gold from the small and large frames.

This is some of my latest additions to my gallery wall that has transformed into this.

I even framed one of my owls from my owl love post.

There is lots of color on the wall.

100_8521 A few pieces are waiting to be transformed but I sort of like the mixture of painted and not painted items. As I makeover items and sell them it has become a sort of revolving gallery wall of thriftiness. It still makes me smile when I look at it.
