Framed Feed Sack




I was searching high and low for an old feed sack. One day, when I stopped into one of my favorite thrift stores to burn a little time, I asked the owner if he had any. I expected him to say no, but he walked right over to a booth and casually pulled out an old sack printed with "Spanish Shelled Peanuts."



I had to mentally yell at myself to calm down so that he would not jack the price up.




I bought it, and in the same trip, I purchased a Syroco framed mirror. I took the frame off of the mirror, painted it white, and gave it some antiquing. I then "framed" the feed sack.





It's hanging in my kitchen!
