A stirrup and a beautiful belt buckle from my ever expanding collection. I knew i wanted to combine them and a photo frame seemed ideal. I spent hours trying to solder the two things together but for some reason they refused to join! I bowed to Sues greater junk knowledge and used her idea for hanging with fishing wire. Thanks Sue!

The photo is one of me,my mother and siblings at a wedding years ago. Im wearing a crochet dress and a hat my milliner aunt made. I loved that outfit!!
