It was love at first sight when I spotted these three 1960ish wire bread baskets at a yard sale. The funny thing is --
I never even considered using them for their intended purpose.
It was obvious to me they were meant to be picture frames.

It would have been useless for them to resist...
So, after a light coat of black spray paint to freshen up the color...
and the addition of a fancy hanger....
I added 4"x4" close-ups of the kids I printed on card stock....
And, there you have it... three really cute kids
in three super simple frames!
