I felt it was time to give this little piece of family history an upgrade. Of course I can't pass a Homegoods without going in, and of course I NEVER leave empty handed.
This time my trip concluded with a new horn frame and a new home for the scrap paper note.
I just love its new home! The horn frame is chunky and perfect.
We all know Homegoods is hit or miss, so here are some other fun horn frames I found
1. Ten Thousand Villages, 2. L.V. Harkness & Co., 3. The Source Collection, 4. Macy's, 5. Olive Steer, 6. CSN, 7. Elements, 8. Steelz
And here is an up close shot, just so you can see the great saying on this little scrap of paper.
I totally just bought a frame that looks just like the first one for my in laws!
