Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays

I wanted to join Linda at Coastal Charm for her Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays party!  I stopped at a yard sale and saw this picture.  I love it!  It reminds me of a print my mother used to have, so that is probably the reason I love it so much.  It was $2!  I also LOVE the frame…

I am going to repaint the black on the frame, but I haven’t had a chance to do that yet.

This print I have had for a very loooong time.  My parents got it at an auction when I was probably 12 years old.  It hung in my room for years and years and I took it with me when I left home.

Pictures are the HARDEST thing for me to take a photo of!  I keep getting reflections!  But I do love this print!

  3. I love seeing what people find at tag sales and out thrifting. I cannot believe you got that antique print and frame for $2! You stole that one, Lucinda! And the other one with the praying bear and child is so sweet. I was just thinking about things that were in my room as a child. I had a pretty grown-up room with the exception of my toys, and I think that is one reason I love whimsy so much! I had botanicals on the wall and also a very scary picture of my grandparents sat on a piece of furniture, and I used to be terrified of it. For some reason, the photographer had shot a bust shot of them and had floated it in the picture. I knew he was dead, and it used to scare me to death. LOL! Vivid imagination.

  6. Great frame. I kind of like the distressed look of it, but I'm guessing that doesn't work with the style you're going for. Great find though!

  7. What a great find. I just love the print of the little girl and bear. Somethings never go out of style and you never get tired of looking at them. This is one of them.
