Thrift shop art & bling

As you may know, I get most of my art from the thrift shops.

It's not all velvet Elvis paintings and Anne Geddes baby print rejects.

I loved this piece dug up recently at Goodwill in Toronto - the framing job alone is worth a good penny, I'd say.

It looks like it's a water colour, and it's a depiction of St. Paul's cathedral in Montreal, Quebec.

I just love the French city scape.



Here's a longer shot of it so you can get the full effect.

I did something a little different when I hung this piece, primarily because there was a big hole above where I hung it.

My solution?

Hang one of my many thrift shop pins above it. It covers the ugly hole in the wall and adds a little bit of 'wall bling' to a rather blah wall.

Maybe I'll change the pin up regularly as one would change a dress.
