Valentine's Day Flea Market Window

We've all seen these and purchased these at the Flea Market's.  How can you resist these with the chipping paint and all the character it has?

I picked this window up last year and I use it as a large picture frame. 

Hubby was *tidying* his home office and gifted me with a box of transparency film that he was going to toss out.  He asked if I could use them for anything...ding-ding-ding...of course I can! 

I've been printing out pictures on the transparency film and putting them in this window frame!

I printed these images from here and here.  I taped wrapping paper on the back.  It's hard to see, it's brown paper with a lace print (from Dollar Tree!).  Usually, I don't put paper on the back, this gives these images more dimension.

I taped each of the transparencies to the corners of the front side of the glass with double-sided clear tape.

I have printed Black & White photo's for this and it looks great.  Soon, I'll print out some Easter images!  If you have a box of transparency film hanging around - try using them!  They still sell them in the office supply stores too.  I know, because I had to buy another box of them already!  *Enjoy*

Flea Market Fun!

I've been going to the Kane County Flea Market for many years now. I always seem to find a treasure each time I go. I usually go with my friend Pat. She always has to stop at the Funnel Cake stand. I think I gain weight watching her eat these! Of course she weighs about 90 lbs.!

Enough about the junk food! I recently picked up this treasure ~ a doll bed.

Many thought it was a baby bed/crib, no it's not. I imagined it painted white and making it a Flower Bed.

After sanding and spray painting it several times ~ here's how it turned out!


I did try to get my two doggies to see if they would like using it as a dog bed, but they wouldn't have anything to do with it!
