My new designs and Enterprise Nation



Well life’s been really busy and I haven’t blogged for ages. Sorry! However I have been designing and creating and have lots to tell you!!

It’s quite a story really and goes back a few months….I am an avid reader and follower of Enterprise Nation (http://www.enterprisenation.com/), which if you have yet to discover is a website which focuses on running your business from home.


It has loads of good advice and articles to help you as you work from home and is a great resource…. Anyway, some months back I entered a competition on the Enterprise Nation site to win a printer. I filled out my details and stated why me and my little framing business would benefit from a wonderful new printer and then forgot about the whole thing.

To my surprise, I was contacted and informed that I had been selected to receive a new printer – YIPPEE!!- I was amazed and very happy. My new printer arrived and it’s fabulous. It’s a fax machine, a scanner, a copier and a printer and I love it (it’s also the same size as my lounge and very stylish!)

Anyway, as I can now print anything on glorious colour and with great resolution, I thought I’d see if I could produce some new frame designs which would incorporate my new toy. So I have just started a new range, still used the reclaimed frames currently, but using different printed fronts, which are all hand-finished, to give a new feel to my collection.

I am going to list this frames for sale on MyEhive.com (http://emeraldreclaimedframes.myehive.com/ ) in the next couple of days and hope they sell like hot cakes :)

Let me know what you think….

  1. I LOVE these! I think this is a whole new departure for you, Cath! How about a coffee, and bring over what you've created, I'd love to see them 'in the flesh', and show them to Richard...?

  3. Thats a really good idea to put a new cover on the frame. Maybe you could scan in some vintage lace and buttons and put those on.
