Nautical Heart in Hand with Gold Scroll Frame flying geese The cuff is lining paperI'm listing another favorite, and I was tempted to keep this one, but I told someone today that I kept back a few frames for myself this time. I will make some love tokens to keep for myself soon. This lovely gold frame is embossed with fancy scrollwork. The gorgeous green background is embossed with stars and anchors! I think it is original to the frame, so I left it intact instead of replacing or covering it. The hand is cut from an old 1930s
