A practical guide to picture framing for the beginner, this book explains every step in the framing process: choosing the mouldings, cutting the wood and the glass, making the mount, assembling and finishing the frame, and hanging the picture. It includes a list of preventive measures to avoid mistakes, and a list of remedies for basic framing errors. The author, a professional picture framer, advises on a wide range of woods, which can be used with different finishes. Construction methods for many different types of picture frame are given, and there is advice on choosing a frame which will complement your home decor, restoring old frames, and developing your picture framing skills into a paying hobby. No specialist equipment is required, the techniques described assume little or no experience on the part of the reader, and unrealistic standards of workmanship are not expected.

Abby Quinn McDougall is a Southern lady whose once picturesque small-town life seems to be shrinking. Widowed at fifty and burdened by the care of an ailing mother and a cantankerous teenaged daughter, Abby wishes her life were simpler and her responsibilities fewer. Abby's daughter, Neal Grace, devastated by the loss of her doting father and the illness of her beloved grandmother, wishes for change, for the chance to break free from other people's expectations. And Abby's mother Edith wishes only to be liberated from life itself. But wishes often backfire. As their wishes begin to come true, the Quinn women start to wonder: Could it be that their old life wasn't so bad after all? Is it possible that the answer to their deepest longings has been right in front of them, all along?

Four friends gathered in a cold, dusty attic on Christmas day to make a solemn pact.
“Our dreams for the future,” they whispered, placing tiny pieces of paper into a shimmering blue bottle.
But that event happened in 1929, and it is decades later when local news reporter Brenna Delaney stumbles upon that bottle . . . and into the most meaningful story of her career.
Life has taken those four girls’ dreams of love, fame, and faith on a path fraught with seduction, betrayal, and loss. Little has turned out as expected―and yet every choice, every tear has led each of them to a special place.
Brenna’s search will uncover the secrets of that Blue Bottle Club . . . and her own life will never be the same.
“A beautiful novel about friendship and the power of faith to renew our dreams.”
―Angela Hunt, author of Magdalene
