My mission for about the last six months has been to find the perfect picture frame for a mini-project that I've had in mind but I've really struggled to find exactly what I wanted - until a couple of weeks ago at the Festival of Thrift in Darlington. I found exactly what I was looking for and for the bargain price of £10 which I was quite pleased with after my long search.... I love it and it's perfect for what I have in mind but before I show you my plans for it, I wanted to show you a couple of other things you could do with it! 1. Make a posh padded notice board.
