Decorating with pocket change

Saturday was another great day for garage sales! We rounded up the change from around the house and found some really great deals. I found this old watering can for a buck and also this cute shelf thing.

 Someone used a really cute green stain on it and I love the little lock block at the top.  Throw a couple of wreaths with them up on a shelf and they make a very inexpensive decoration!

Let's get our frame on...

Frames are quite the popular item at garage sales and you can always find them at thrift stores.  I got a couple of frames for a buck each at a garage sale and stuck paper in them.  Smallish frames are pretty versatile and you can stick them in a number of different places.

  I also love this frame dressed with fabric. It makes such a beautiful backdrop. This design is by Jason Martin and I found it at one of my fav sites Little Green Notebook.   Here is another idea from her site. This design is from Jack and Lulu. They used a bird book to fill these frames and make a stunning collage.  You can also pull a Joy from Joys of Home and just leave your frames empty. I love all of the frames in her home.  There really are so many possibilities with frames, and you can usually buy almost any size for under $5!
