Up, up, upside down?



Many of you will understand this post immediately.
For those of you who don't...
I'd suggest that you watch a sweet little movie this weekend called UP.

I'm heading over to Revi's for her Thrifty Life Thursday party and needed to share a thrifty find.
This picture frame was a dollar at an estate sale.
There was a very, ummm, uninteresting  little painting inside that I painted over 
with ASCP Old White.  I also painted the frame.
It became the perfect home for my grape soda pin.
It is one of my treasured keeps.




My world has a few similarities. ;)

Taking a cue from Revi, my little framed pin has been revised, revisioned and recycled.
A special keep to make me smile, now up on the wall and happy.

  8. I think I have a few of those frames packed away. Now I want to paint them and see what I've got to display! Yours is adorable. :)

    I've never heard of the movie, but now I'll have to google it. You have some seriously talented critters hanging from your trees, Tina!

  9. At least a bronze medal for the gymnast squirrel you have. A gold medal to the upcycled grape soda pin suitably framed.

  14. If I was a kid again I'd collect soda bottle tops. They have a cool factor, just like you.

  17. Not sure I get it Tina, but I will make sure I do with snooping around here. Have not seen up, but maybe I will make time on Net Flix to watch today.
    I do love the soda cap pin shadow boxed in your up styled frame, in fact I too have displayed pieces just like this. Love the frame painted white adds to the charm of the grape soda cap pinned in and under glass.

    Thank you for taking the time to visit me!
    I always enjoy getting to know new followers making good friends with them.

    See you soon.
    Now off to visit your older postings.

    Xoxo
