<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 11136274, member: 23"]Like China, Mexico has "art villages" where this stuff is made. I'd say the frame is worth more than $25 even if it was mass produced and made to look old. I'd have bought it for the frame alone. Just because it's decorative art doesn't make it bad. Look at some of the high end home decor stores. It would cost a lot more. If you were buying it to try and sell, you might not make a great deal, but if you liked it then keep it and enjoy it. Around here I find that the thrift store volunteers are well versed in checking online for values and there aren't any bargains any more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
