Lent decluttering: 8 - picture frames

Not so easy, this one, because of the memories involved:

Letting go of picture frames

In September 2002, when I moved into the flat I shared with a friend in Tooting Bec, a friend from NYC came to see us. He is an artist, and after an afternoon spent sightseeing he came back and gave me three postcards that I put into standard Ikea frames and placed just above my bedroom door.

Since then I have moved twice, and never found a place to display them. I cannot believe they I have kept them in a box for four years and never once did I think that perhaps I did not need them. So bye.

The fourth frame is from a charity shop and I like the fact that it is made out of a carpentry ruler (I am sure there is a more accurate technical name for it, but you know what I mean I hope).

I am hesitating a lot about it because I still like it, even if it goes with absolutely nothing we have at home. However, not only has it been kept in a box for four years, but the back stand is broken and useless.

I am going to keep the postcard (a reproduction of the old Vauxhall Gardens refreshments price list, with a theatre invitation from a friend on the back), then bye to this frame too.

    No! Don't get rid of the lovely carpentry ruler frame! Instead I suggest you recycle it. To me!
