Thanks gals! There are lots of these photos waiting for a fun rescue.

Re: Vintage window turned photo display
Super-cute photo display! Aren't old windows fun? I like the distressed & chippy look of your window. Did you do sepia tone for photos? Looks great! :)

Re: Care to share advice?
I'm so glad you asked this question, I've wondered the same thing! Here's another question to go along with this:
posted: 11:38 am on August 28thDo you have to do any legal paperwork before selling at flea markets or do you just send any taxes (if any?) in later at end of year? Any other advise out there? I've been curious about this!
I love your stuff, too! I'm sure you'll do well if you decide to sell!!

Re: Old Window Picture Frame
I used clear photo corners (found at scrapbook store) to attach the photos to the back of the glass. They were already sticky on one side. This way I can change out the photos seasonally, or as desired!
posted: 2:19 pm on August 27thAlso, I actually placed the computer printed words on the RIGHT side of the glass, flipped window over and painted/traced on the WRONG side--this way when I dust the glass I don't have to worry about scraping paint off accidentally! Sorry for the confusion! :)

Sue,
posted: 1:24 pm on August 27thI LOVE these ideas! I am more of a junk re-purposer than junk builder, and ideas like this get my creative energy going! I'm going to have to look for those soda fountain dishes :). Did I mention that I LOOOVE this?!!
