Frame Your Gift Bags

I've always liked the look of vintage prints but they are hard to find. I've spotted some really nice ones on Etsy but to be honest, I find some of them a little too pricey for what they are. Add shipping costs and that's stretching my budget. So I've been looking for alternative ways to find vintage prints for a much better deal. 

~Gift bags~
I found these gift bags at my local Tuesday Morning shop for a $1 each. The best part is, you have two sides to use, in case a friend wants the same picture. 


Some framed art in our guest bathroom.
-you can see our rumpled up shower curtain-

 Spring time calls for lots of pink at my house.

Other good alternatives for finding your own vintage prints are:
-floral wallpaper
-greeting cards
-gift wrap
-fabric from shower curtains, sheets, clothes (as you've seen how I recycled some baby clothes)
-Google. Just type in search words like "vintage birds", then "images". Save the ones you like on your computer and have them printed out at your favorite photo shop (I prefer Walgreens).

By the way, I had a wonderful shopping trip to the antique mall in Winter Park, FL on Saturday and brought home some pretty goodies. My camera is dead :( but as soon as it is back up & running I will have to share! 
Happy decorating!
