Links I Love Week #3 : Year 2026

Happy long weekend! We have two big football games on the agenda. First up, The Bears on Sunday and the Hoosiers on Monday. Last Sunday, we picked up a bunch of our frames at Framebridge, and they were finally hung on Friday. After having piles of frames around our house, it feels good and complete now that we have pieces hung. I ended up ordering a few more when we were in last week, and I am excited to add those.
My friend Kat can vouch that I was the shoemaker with no shoes. The first time she set foot in my apartment, she was shocked to find my walls bare. It was Kat who encouraged me to start framing my own photography and let them have a space in my home. Now that my husband and I have started, we add new art and rotate different pieces in rooms to change things up. I have shared some of the new pieces on Instagram and will share some of my favorite Framebridge frames in an upcoming Substack post. This is always a hot topic.

Congratulations on putting your artwork up on the walls! It took me a long time to do that, but then I realized two things: 1. Some of my art is really good, 2. Looking at me “old” work often gives me ideas for new work. So, enjoy your creative successes! – James
