I've been working on a project the past couple of weeks to scan in old family photographs. It's been a fascinating process. This photograph, of my mother as a girl, has been dubbed the "méchante" picture by my boyfriend, because of my mother's penchant for looking just a little evil when she grins. Once I'm done scanning and retouching where necessary, I'm going to make prints of the better ones.

I found the frame at Bed Bath and Beyond on sale and decided it was perfect to display the "méchante" photo. The color is complimentary to black-and-white and vintage photos, while the raised paisley pattern is just pretty.

Having bought the frame and made the print, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it. It just doesn't fit my decor. Hell of a thing to realize at this late date, ain't it?
