Got this neat oak picture frame at a garage sale Saturday. I bought an item for $20 and asked if they would throw in the frame. They said sure. I thought I could make a neat display case out of this! The frame is 20" x 8" made for two 5" x 7" pictures. So here is what I did.
Frame as bought.

I took off the back, then cut two pieces of fleece the size of the ovals. I will probably find a color that shows better than the yellow later.
I added my two most recent old coins to the display and then put it back together!

I plan to make it so I can put thicker items in it, and maybe use it to display found items at each months club meeting. Here is the Barber dime.

The "V" nickel. I also may use it later as a permanent display on the wall, as it still has the wall hanger on the back.

Nice going me son! If you had a larger coin in the middle of each yellow felt, I would say an owl was looking at me! A really neat idea for a garage sale item and free also!

You sure are blessed Mike and keep on serving the Lord and doing good!

God Bless!
