Mission of Goodwill - Week #5

Today's post is later than usual, mostly because I was up to my eyeballs in Halloween projects today.  And if I can say so, THEY ARE SUPER.

So my Goodwill find this week was this little frame, ready to be rehabbed for the upcoming gallery wall.  Here's a picture:


Now, there's always a risk with these sorts of things at Goodwill.  I'm always concerned that I'll pick up some little item that is actually a priceless antique that would have supported my crafting for a thousand years, and I just painted over it and put some vinyl on it.  I've decided that I'd rather not know if I've destroyed a national treasure.

So readers, if you recognize this little picture as being some sort of long-lost artifact, don't tell me.  It's better this way.

  1. Halloween projects...I am impressed. Will your family be trick or treating as the cast of Golden Girls?

  2. So funny you mentioned that. I actually picked up a large frame at my thrift store with a picture inside (think pastel beach scene from a hotel room) for $14. When I went to remove the picture, I discovered it was signed and numbered. After a google search I discovered it was a signed lithiograph by a californian artist that sells for about $150-- unframed. All I wanted was the frame!! I gave the picture frame and all to my mom 'cuz she like it and I couldn't bear to throw it away. Now I have to find another frame. ;)

  4. I"m looking forward to seeing what this one looks like when you are done. I might be showing how weird I am but I think it is looking at me, all those little pairs of eyes. I too have a gallery wall of frames from the 'will I intend to share soon.

I love all the comments I get from you! Because of an insane amount of spam, I had to turn off anonymous commenting but I'd love it if you'd comment anyway!
