Giant Frame


I've been looking for a big, carved frame for quite a while.  We have a bare wall in our bedroom that was NEEDING a big, carved, empty frame and I finally found one at the Habitat for Humanity thrift store in Salt Lake City.  That place is amazing!  All kinds of neat junk at reasonable prices and the proceeds go to a great cause.
 Anyway, it's big, 3' X 5'.   It's ornate carving is beautiful.  It was already painted black.
 Pretty?  Why, yes it is.  It's also plastic. Gold plastic painted black.  Have you ever seen one this big?  I find them all the time at  thrift stores but they're 5X7 inches, not feet.
You should've seen Janis and Sue and I trying to fit this thing in Janis' car.  Hilarious!  Except for the part when we scraped some of the window tint off her back window:(

  3. You should have said that you had to sit on it all the way home. Don't ever worry about the window tint because every time I notice it it gives me a good chuckle.
    Are you still on for today?

  10. Window tint is illegal, so you did her a favor. You must be a giver, just like me. :) Love the frame!
