I bought the frame at a Dollar Tree, and spray painted it gold with some paint I already had.

The little Victorian picture is a piece of an old book (i think it was a hymnal of some sort) that I found while 'dumpster diving' at the local flea market. It was wet because it had rained eariler, but I thought it was pretty so i took it home and let it dry out for a couple days, and then I framed it. It's in my living room now.
