This past weekend I was able to do a bit of thrift shopping and I found some great deals. I don’t think I’ve found this much thrifty stuff in a long time.
My finds…
I found three matching gold frames that I quickly added a first coat of paint on them to bring out their features.
I love the details all around these frames.
I’m undecided if I should make them into corkboards or sell them as they are.
What do you think?
This metal frame has a perfect patina on it already.
I thought this basket would be a great storage space for some of my handmade greeting cards.
Only after I got home and reread the tag did I realize that I left part of this easel at the store. It had a faux open bible displayed on it. I thought I saw a tag on the bible so thought the easel was a separate piece. Oops. Well the shop has one more thing to sell, I only wanted the easel the book was hiding anyway.
This was a faux wood color when I got it. It still needs a final coat of white and some glaze to bring out its lovely details.
I’m thinking I might try to keep this as a clock if it works but it definatly needs a color makeover. I can’t decide if I should go aqua, pink, or maybe a buttery yellow.
This display might just be a new piece for my craft to help me organize my supplies. That is if I can manage to find some wall space to hang it on.
I can’t wait to get all of these items cleaned, painted and revamped to show off their great new looks.

Wow, you hit the jackppot! I am always on the lookout for Syroco, so I am drooling over all of your treasures! Love the wall pocket, and the easel turned out just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove the frames! I have a basket that's similar than yours but larger (a hand-me-down) and I store my homemade handbag patterns inside. It's great for storage. Nice finds!
ReplyDeleteLove the frames, June! I have frames in mind for my next trip to Goodwill. They are just so useful for so many things. I think corkboards are a great idea for these. Sometimes people just don't know how to deal with open frames like those.

ReplyDeletegreat finds! I love love love the frames! I would leave them as they are, but that's coming from someone who loves a wall of empty frames. I'm a new blogger, I'd love if you'd stop by!
