I just couldn't find an appropriate frame that didn't cost a bundle.That is, until I went to my local HomeGoods and spotted this.
And at this great price.
Who could pass it up. With the exception of the print that isn't all that special, the frame was in great condition.So after some surgery, my print is now in a lovely home.
The print I had on-hand was free. The frame was $7.00 How's that for economy decor!Have you picked up anything recently at HomeGoods that you have turned into something else?

The print is really pretty and has me longing for the long days of summer. I, too, love Homegoods. I get lost in wandering around wanting everything!! ;-D

What a great idea! Love the print, definitely will add some sweetness to its new location.
Clever girl!!
I think it looks great!
Great idea, Carmie! How could you not do something with that for $7.00! I think your print looks right at home in this frame.
Love how you pulled that off! No HomeGoods here.
Oh yeah! Carmie this is so nice!!
I love art!..I try and pick-up pieces on my travels, and then it's fun finding frames,ain't it?Looks like you got a great buy too.

What a great idea. I am in Home Goods all the time. It's one of my favorite stores. I am your latest follower. I would love for you to come and check out my blog and follow me back at www.diybydesign.blogspot.com. Thanks so much.
That is a great score!! "Surgery" is a good word for taking apart a frame sold with the print in it.
WOW!! What an amazing deal! And it looks beautiful.
Oh, your artwork looks perfect in your frame! Great deal too!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
