Dollar Store Goodies

I was down in the dumps on Friday and what do I do when I get down in the dumps?  I go to Dollar Tree.  I don't know why it is but that is what I do.  Cheaper than therapy and I give myself a dollar limit as to what I can spend.  Friday's limit = $5.00 , tax doesn't count ;)

So cash in hand, smack dab in the middle of the day, I venture to the Dollar Tree and came back with these goodies:

1- Red Roses
2- Heart Picks
3- Package of Moss
4- White plain candle
5- Fleur de Lis ornament


So first the flowers, took the red roses and heart picks and made a mini bouquet and put it in a mercury glass urn I had.  Added the moss to anchor the arrangment.


Next the candle.  You've all seen this I'm sure, the plain white glass candle.  Added ornamentation by way of self adhesive decor I had in a scrapbooking kit.


Last, the fleur de lis ornament.  Bought it  in a dark and drab brownish color.   Painted it white and she was all pretty.


Here are my goodies, keeping each other company and putting a smile on my face.  Just what the doctor ordered (Dr. Dollar Tree).

  5. Yeah, it is great, you don't get depressed again, because you've overspent, but you can get some really cool stuff. Like you did! Lezlee
