FRAME MAKEOVER

I picked up this picture at a yard sale last summer. 

Isn't it lovely? 

What? 

You don't think so either?

Well maybe about 1985 it was lovely but not in 2011.

I actually bought it because I really liked the metal thingies on the corners.

After removing the picture and painting the frame I felt like it improved it by about 75%.

The next step was to find something unique to put in it.

I saw this saying recently and loved it.

I inserted scrapbook paper in the frame and put the vinyl right on the paper.

Now I am 100% satisfied.

I have been home bound this week because of snow.   Tomorrow I MUST GET OUT AND GO SOMEWHERE, CABIN FEVER HAS SET IN!

Have a great weekend.

Garage Sale Goodies

I hit a few sales this week-end and found some treasures.

Here is a brand new set of cookie cutters from Panpered Chef I got for $2

I found another cute little soup tureen. I am now up to six tureens. $1.50
I love this rustic wood carrier. Not real fond of the hearts though, maybe I will have to find something to put over them. I paid .50 for it.
I found this metal basket...I can see something Christmasy in it. It was .75
Lastly is this mail holder. There is some spray paint and scrapbook paper in it's future, I can just feel it. I paid $2 for it but it is in almost new condition, very clean.
I love garage sale season!!!!!

Head on over to Southern Hospitality (RHODA'S BLOG) for some thrifty treasures party.
