A couple of weeks ago we received a new photo of our great-granddaughter, sized 4x5, and having reused all of the frames we had in that size, sought to buy an inexpensive 4x5 frame. There was not a 4x5 to be found. All of the stock was for 4x6 snapshot sizes. Our next stop will be a local studio, but hate to pay their prices for small frames that don't have to be elaborate.
