It is the little things that count!

So I have a little photo frame in my bedroom....I have had it for years and it is has a photo of my two eldest children from when they were really little, so it is cute. BUT the frame is dated, it just does not fit in my room, the colour is all wrong BUT... I am reluctant to get rid of it.... I don't know why, it jars at me everytime I look at it.... so time for a rethink!

It is the liitle things that count..........
