total # of garage sales visited: 21

=quite a success
oh and can't forget the dozen donuts we picked up on the way home *my parents were having company that night, not all for us*
it might look like chicken, but it's apple fritters on the left! nom nom nom
all of my purchases! soon to be made sleek and black.
see the picture in the top right with the lady dancing? i might actually keep that picture in there. the rest, well that's my next task; finding pictures i like and fitting them to the right size. most likely sepia or black and white. and also see the light switch plate? that was .25 cents! i definitely needed a new once, since i still have my old on one, which is purple and sparkly! i was looking forward to starting to spray paint the frames right when we got home, but of course, it started raining. and it's since rained sunday and monday too. this weekend is supposed to be sunny, so i should be able to work on my project then! yay! pretty sure this is my first DIY..go me!

omg, that's such a good idea! I'm totally going to do that.
I HEART GARAGE SALES!
I found so many awesome things this past spring! I love antiques.. (but not crap!) I found a whole bunch of antique cameras, a few trunks, and old bottles.. I was in HEAVEN!
I'm so jealous of your garage sale frames! I went the other weekend and could not find a single frame. Can't wait to see the finished product!
great idea, I may have to steal it from you! :)

i need frames, i wish i wouldn't have sold so many of mine at my last garage sale!
i recently painted a bunch of frames black and lime green and printed pics for them....cheap and looks awesome in our office!
Good finds! You can get some really super deals on great stuff at garage sales.
This is a great project! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Finding treasures at garage sales is such a great feeling, too!

This is a great idea. I love garage sales too... nothing like getting a great bargain.
And the doughnuts look amazing. I am really craving something naughty to eat now!
I love the woman in the red skirt! I can't see to closely, but I'm sure my grandmother has the same one!! Or at least she has that same woman in an other pose! I love that picture, I been dropping hints to my grandma since I was a child ;) My grandfather picked it up in Souther'n Europe some 30-40 years ago.
