8x10 Victorian collage matted w lace + Daughter verse

This auction is for an UNFRAMED 8x10 size collage with a saying. This means that the outside measurements of the mat are 8" x 10". It will fit into any standard size frame that has an opening of these measurements. These are readily available premade at all dept. stores, drug stores, craft stores, and even the supermarket. I can tell you, these looks just wonderful in an antique style gold frame!

This is a double mat, with the outer mat being burgundy and the inner mat gold. The print is embellished with gold buttons, gold beads, and a satin rose. On the mat are pieces of a real venice and rachel lace, and even a piece of vintage tablecloth.

The title of the saying is, "A Touch of Love."

The verse says, "You were six months old and full of fun. With a blink of my eye, you suddenly were one. There were so many things we were going to do, But I turned my head and you turned two. At two, you were very dependent on me. But independence took over when you turned three. Your third birthday, another year I tried to ignore. But when I lit the candles, there weren't three, but four. Four was the year that you really strived. Why, look at you now, you're already five. Now you are ready for books and rules. This is the year that you go to school. The big day came; you were anxious to go. We walked to the bus, going oh, so slow. As you climbed aboard and waved good-bye, I felt a lump in my throat and tears stung my eyes. Time goes so fast, it's hard to believe That just yesterday you were home here, with me. And tomorrow when the bus brings you home and you jump to the ground, You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown. So I'm holding to these moments as hard as I can, Becuase the next time I look, I'll be seeing a grown woman!"

A great gift to give that "little" girl of a daughter! Christmas is just around the corner, you know!!!
