Dollar Tree Finds

This past weekend I went to the Dollar Tree to see if I could help the stock price go up a little higher {no, I'm kidding; I own Family Dollar stock anyway}. Actually, I went to see if I could find some small pumpkins to change out my lemon apothecary jar that is in my kitchen. I found the pumpkins in a net bag, but they were too orange and there were just too many for me to spray paint.

So this is what I got instead:





Christmas stuff! I don't think I've bought Christmas decorations this early ~ ever {except for January, but then I'm stocking up on wrap and cards on clearance so that doesn't count}. The thought of paying $1.00 for each one of these things was just too much to pass up. I plan on going back for more of the ornaments because I think I'd like to try making a wreath out of ball ornaments this year. Like these:

BH&G

Wreaths by Design

Good Housekeeping

It looks like I may need different sizes to accomplish this look.

I liked these stars {even in their present silver}, but thought they could easily be painted.

I also liked these glasses. I couldn't go wrong for $1.00 a glass.



Finally, I got little wood word signs. I actually bought two {the second one says something different, but since I'm making something for my daughter for Christmas, and who knows if she secretly reads my blog ~ my lips are sealed on that word sign}. I've been kicking around how I want to paint this, and I do have an idea. Hopefully, that will turn out as I'm picturing it in my head.



10 things for $10.00!

I'm hooking this post up with Frugalicious Friday over at Finding Fabulous.


Don't forget Friday is the last day for the Design Pattern Company Giveaway! I'll be announcing the winner on Saturday!
