Got chalk?

I have wanted to make a chalkboard for a long time and I finally got around to doing it. I found the perfect antique frame at a garage sale for $2.00. It used to be an ugly gold and I painted it white. Imagine that! :)

                    I don't know for sure where I will use it, but had to make a pretty display for you!

                                                             I love the carved detail on it!

                                                                                     

                                                      still lovin' my Peacock Park goodies

                                                                            

I am bummed because a few weeks ago I saw a wooden box full of vintage chalk for $7 at the antique mall and when I went back to get it this past week it was gone.  I guess you snooze...you lose or in this case I lose.  I thought it would be perfect sitting underneath my chalkboard.

I love how it turned out and I have had some offers on facebook already to sell it, but I am keeping this one. I hope I can find some more old frames to do this with. Easy as eating pie!!
