032. Frame and display more Disney pins

I'd been tidying the spare room today and came across some old cards and postcards that I'd sent to James over the years. I found a Minnie and Mickey Mouse 'Thinking of You' postcard that I sent him in December 2002 - I'd gone to WDW for a family holiday, we had only been together a couple of months.

I'd had this black frame for ages, always intending to fill one half with pins and the other with a photo of some sort - I thought the postcard would look great instead. Choosing the pins was easy, they had to be Minnie and Mickey!

The frame is almost a couple of inches thick so could stand up on it's own without the back on, which is good because with the pin backs getting in the way I wouldn't have been able to stand it up. It's now sitting on quite a high shelf of our bookcase in the living room, having it stand up without the back on means it can be seen much easier because it's not pointing slightly up - if that makes any sense at all!

032. Frame and display more Disney pins

I spotted some white frames in Clas Ohlson that would be perfect for framing more of my Disney pins. I have almost 200 pins and the majority of them are currently in boxes and I've only frame a few Stitch pins so far. I wanted to display more of my pins around the house, so picked out those white frames for my office/computer room.

This is my new frame! I was sat on the floor in the living room making it while we had the NFL on. I have a lot of Stitch pins in my collection, that is my collection pretty much apart from a few extras. But, I don't have enough of a particular theme to fill a frame this size (8x10in), so I went with some random/favourite pins I have and a good mixture of open edition, lanyard and limited edition pins. On Flickr I've tagged each of the pins with their Pin Pics number and edition size.

I have a smaller frame (5x7in) for some more pins, that might have to be a Mickey and Minnie frame next time! I will post pics of more frames when they're made.
