goodwill frame = playroom art

06 July 2010

I found this framed print at the Goodwill for $3.99. I loved the big, white mat and simple frame and knew the shoe could be switched out for anything, so I snatched it up. Inexpensive framed prints can be re-purposed anywhere in your house. Keep your eyes open!

Many suggested something with a star or school-type stuff, so this is how we interpreted it. Back to school stuff is coming out all over, so pencils are dirt cheap:july 2010 035 1
