vintage artwork for kids.......

i love vintage prints,..  but they can be expensive,..and if you have a couple of kids, like me (3!!), it all adds up

i recently found some vintage children's books at a local flea market,..  i picked them up for about 50cents each,..and they have beautiful illustrations in them.





sit down with your kids and go through the illustrations,..see which ones they like, and then create a theme,..  ie; transport,..planes,...cooking,...girls in dresses etc,..


i then bought some thick white ribba frames from ikea for about $12 each.






the finished product looks stylish....the kids will love making up stories about what is going on in the images,....and it won't break the bank!


enjoy!
