Ok, so as many of you know...I absolutely L.O.V.E. to shop in flea markets (much to my hubby's dismay!) My eyes are always open and ready to jump on a clearance purchase any day of the week and twice on Sundays...ha, well...maybe not Sundays! Naps are always necessary, I mean a MUST, on Sundays :) While on our yearly anniversary trip, I talked hubs into doing a little "fleas and tiques" shopping with me...he was overjoyed...REALLY! haha  Nonetheless, I happened upon a collection of barn wood frames for $3 each. While I didn't have a idea in mind, I love the rustic meets contemporary look...it's like marrying the new with the old! So I scooped them up. Shortly after, I made my way AGAIN to the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby (hubby L.O.V.E.S. to see this payee in the check book =0) and found this wire piece that obviously belonged on something else, but the something else was no where to be found. Again, it found it's way into my basket and headed home with me... It's cost: $2.40. These finds sat in my workshop for a month or so until I was cleaning up one day and an idea "DAWNED" on me...I will introduce these two and they will become great friends.  Step 1: Tie a burlap bow onto the wire.  Step 2: Add a hanger to the back of the frame. Step 3: Glue the wire onto the front of the frame.  Step 4: Hang it up for all to enjoy!   BEFORE It was helpful that I already had the 11x14 red painted canvas on the wall as it has previously helped frame another piece. So all I had to do was replace the collage with this newly created bargain décor.  AFTER  So, while you are out and about...keep your peepers open to possibilities! This sweet "old but new" piece of décor was created for $5.40. Can't wait to see what you find... Inspired, Dawn |
