Hidden photo now on display

It was my Gran and Grandad's 60th wedding anniversary on 5th January 2012. I'd found a gorgeous picture of them on their wedding day, but it had been kept in a drawer all this time, rather than on display. I decided that this needed to be seen, not just put away again to be forgotten about, so I sneakily measured the photo while I was looking at it, by seeing how it compared to the length of my fingers.

Once I got home, I dug out my cross-stitching materials, and came up with a basic design. I even found some metallic thread to do the bigger hearts in. I found the actual frame in Tesco. I think it has a slightly vintage feel to it, and was perfect for the photo that it was going to contain.

They were both very surprised and thrilled with the frame when I gave it to them on their wedding anniversary. They had had no idea that I'd measured up the photo, but I think that they were happy that it now gets to be on display.

Here's the frame with the photo inside. I think you'll agree that this deserved to be out in the open.
