thrifty home decorating; for the walls

We stumbled upon a little rummage sale this weekend and with the $3 in cash we had in our pockets we purchased a set of cotton twin sheets for Claire's bed, 2 children's books from the early 60's with some fun pictures inside, and the 3 pieces of art below to be framed and hung low on the walls in her (soon to be) room.  Not bad, I'd say.  $1 for the sheets, .25 cents for each book, $1 for the big painting and .25 cents for each of the two botanical ones

I may have a little trouble actually cutting up the books for the pictures, raised with such a deep respect for books as I was (a good thing, for sure) but we'll see~

I also found this wonderful book at Goodwill for about $1.50 a while back and plan to frame some of the fun inside for our bare walls,

again, we'll see.
