Découpaged Photo Hanging Frame

Photos are an important part of most peoples lives, they act like memories so that we don't forget what was.  Our children at a younger age, a deceased family member or just happy occasions that make us smile so its an added bonus when you come across a pretty way to display them.

I love the idea of this découpaged and painted photo frame with string and pegs to hang your favourite pics.

You can choose any pattern, design or colour that you like and the beauty of this one is you can very easily change photos from one day to the next.  Of course it's so pretty as it is that you wouldn't have to hang any photos on it and could just use it for little notes to yourself (or others); reminders, shopping lists, or quotes for positive thinking and wellbeing - the list is endless!

Great Gift Ideas

It's getting close to that time of year again where we spend our time planning for Christmas and trying to source unusual gifts for friends and family.

It's a difficult job trying to find something that is a little different and doesn't cost the earth.  This year, Funky-Junk has the answer with their beautiful handmade vintage style photo hanging plaquettes.  These plaquettes are all one of a kind, affordable and make wonderful gifts.

With a choice of background design and colour, a little ribbon and peg hangs from the frame which gives the option of placing a photo if desired... but these decorative plaquettes with their fabulous design and colours look great in any setting with or without a photo attached.

Vintage Floral Plaquette - Christmas Collection

As part of my Christmas collection I present the Vintage Floral Photo Hanging plaquette.  This lovely plaquette is made with my current favourite colour scheme and I think it will be a big hit with Funky-Junk followers.  All of my available plaquettes can be seen on the Sale page, you can get there by clicking on the For Sale tab at the top of the page.  Orders/requests can be made by email by filling in the form on the right hand side of this page.  If you have any questions feel free to contact me.  A link to my Facebook page can also be found at the top of this page.  I just love this beauty!

Irish Plaquette

I wanted to design some plaquettes that were typically Irish and I chose this Guinness theme as my first.  I thought it would be nice to start with some old Dublin scenes which will have a special appeal to Irish people living away from home and visitors to Ireland who may wish to bring something handmade of Ireland home with them.  This Guinness plaquette is now in an Irish home in France.

Vintage Roses Photo Hanging Plaquette

My new design Vintage Roses Photo Hanging Plaquette went down a treat with it's new owner and resulted in an abundance of requests for the same style so I will be a busy bee for the next while making sure I get all my orders completed in time while at the same time keeping up with the furniture upstyling taking place in my small studio!!  I can barely fit myself in at the moment due to the amount of work going on - I need to think about a bigger space soon!

Here's some pics of the Vintage Roses Plaquette which can be used for hanging a favourite photo using the mini peg which is attached to the ribbon within the frame.  This time, I went for a vertical design and included the person's name inside the frame as an added touch.  She loved it and I am happy to say there will be more similar to this in the near future.  Thanks for dropping by, don't forget to call again soon to see what's happening at Funky-Junk.

Time for Tea, Snowflakes & Floral Plaquettes

It's been a while since I posted my first lot of vintage style plaquettes which I am pleased to say, sold out quite quickly.  I have been busy preparing the next batch and have recently completed the three below, one of which was a commission and is now with it's new owner.  The two plaquettes with the frames can be used for clipping on a photo of your choice using the mini-pegs attached and seen in the pics below:
