Didn't have time to think twice when

It had an ugly chrome frame, but I knew we
could fix that. We removed the frame and

I wanted a rustic frame. Free pallet wood
found by the dumpster and leftover wall paint

I filled an antique butter churn with
sunflowers to compliment the painting.
A gift I'll always love and enjoy looking
at and remembering the story. It's a nice

sunflowers to compliment the painting.
