When it comes to antiques, I love to collect small things. For small old family photos, I think silver or pewter frames are classy and charming.

I have a collection of various styles, most of these small ones are about 2 or 3 inches high.

I have them displayed in groups either by themselves, or to compliment a larger one in the same style.

Most of these frames collected over the years are from antique shops in Maine, flea markets, neighborhood tag sales, and home decoration shops. 

By the way, the photo of the girl with dark hair toward the center, is Sans Souci when she was 16 !

deletereply danceinsilence wrote on May 17, ’08 Well, how neat is that! These are really cool looking. I’m not (used to be) a collector these days, but these frames are really expressive. … and Sans as a teen no less, wait until I tell the Marine Corp!  LOL Thanks for letting me have a glimpse of something you enjoy.
