Picked up the '23 calendar today from Wheaton's frame shop. Hung it up in our little office space. I'm glad to have added a calendar to the cave, she displays well (Blaine, just as you said). I chose the matte based on the color of the Coca-Cola girl's dress, and frame to match my high-end, assemble-yourself, faux cherry veneer desk. I had to move a sign over to make it work and immediately realized I created another open space. Oh my... must do something about that... ;) Perry, I'll be joining you out on the patio deck shortly...
Hope everyone has a great weekend and may you score BIG! I'm really impressed with the number of CW posts from Coca-Cola collectors lately, new folks stopping by Old Coke Central. Nice to see. Keep 'em coming gang!

The old gal looks good framed. You are right, you have an open space now. I think you need another calendar. Good job.
She sure is cute, looks great!
Thanks Guys. I noticed the calendar was not stapled on evenly, so the the piece is out of square. (Blaine, I almost sent you a note asking if I should try to fix, but then...) I talked to my framer, and he said old calendars like this rarely are affixed straight, because they were assembled by hand in bulk and not much quality assurance back then. Interesting to a novice like myself.
Sure does look good and provides plenty of space for some fillers as well, it works on so many levels, lol!!! To the patio....
She looks great framed up with that light blue matte. Perfect match Dave! Beautiful combo, really makes it pop now. A little chilly out there tonight Dave but I'm sure it will warm up in a few months;)
Thanks Tommy and Perry.
