Finding Bargains

Category: Random Stuff | Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2010 5:21 pm

The other day I decided to stop in a local thrift shop to search for snow boots for my growing -like- a- weed grandson. Well, no good boots, but you never know what you can discover in these shops.
I spent $8.00 for this picture. I love these Nuthatches. We like to decorate with pictures featuring birds and flowers. It measures (aprox) 24hx18w. The matting is a subtle (probably a bit faded) light sage green. Will go quite well with our colors! I'm not very fond of the frame, but Bob has already taken it apart, (and says it was very well put together) and he discovered the frame IS wood with that gold stuff painted on. So he is now sanding and removing that. We'll stain it a dark color that compliments the picture. Not a bad find!

Lovely picture and a good price. I agree, it does need a darker frame.

I shop thrift stores all the time, there are a couple of large ones that we try to visit a couple of times a month. I have found some really neat garden junque at them and they are the only places where I can find the long skirts I prefer to wear.
