Frames cheap frames

My mum told me about an op shop out her way that was stocked with old frames. Being frugal, she always seems shocked by how much I spend or am willing to spend on custom framing. 

As for me, I'm a little bit sick of spending so much money on framing. So today I popped in to the op shop, armed with a list of measurements from my stash (most of them not even WIPs yet) and I was not disappointed!

I purchased this one for Love Blossoms:

And this one for Savannah Birth Record:

This one for Paris Market:

And this one for Frederick the Literate:

Total price - $20 for the four of them.

Okay so they aren't the most beautiful frames, and I probably need to be fussier and willing to spend more time going to op shops, but I'm happy with their quality AND thanks to this purchase I have now saved about $225 on frames alone (not including matting, foam core, and other framing materials). I quite like the shabby chic look!
