Fall Candle

Happy Sunday, friends! This very well may be the simplest project that I have ever put on here. But its totally worth sharing, just to prove how really simple and inexpensive projects can dress up a room! I love candles. We always have them around. Especially Fall candles. Anything pumpkin spice, apple cinnamon, Caramel....okay any fall food smelling candle. The Autumn leaves ones are okay. But I love the ones that smell like good old fashioned Fall comfort food. (We have an apple cider one that I am obsessed with! We burned through it in a couple of weeks. Time for a new one!)

Anyway, back to the project. So at the dollar tree the other day, I picked up this cute-but-simple glass candle holder. I really like the shape of it and for one buck you can't beat that!

And then I stumbled across this candle. Now some pumpkin candles are not-so-great. This one is fabulous! It has just enough cinnamon to make me love it. And the color works really well with our kitchen.

 Here's the hard part! I unwrapped it and plopped it into the candle holder. Brilliant, I know! :)

 And then I decided that was too easy. So I ran down to the craft room and rustled up a piece of twine that I had leftover from another project.

And I tied it around the vase and tied a bow. Its amazing how a little piece of twine can really change the look of something. It totally brings it into Fall and is so much cuter than just a plain orange candle plopped into a glass jar!

You don't have to spend a ton of money to decorate for the seasons. Seriously! Try Goodwill and the dollar store. Or yard sales! People are always trying to get rid of stuff and don't seem to care as much about the profit. There is nothing a little spraypaint can't fix! So far, my entire Fall redecorating has cost a totally of...maybe $10 max!

Fabulous Friday #3: A Little Sunshine

A couple of weeks ago, I opened my trunk to get something out and was met with a very pleasant surprise. A few months before, I had seen a bea-u-ti-ful! white ceramic pitcher at Goodwill and bought it for $1.50!!! (I'm telling you, if you do not shop Goodwill...you should!)

So I got really excited when I pulled it from my trunk. I got even more excited when I looked at the bottom and realized it was Pfaltzgraff! With me and my fall decor coming out, I was instantly inspired. I was going to get some big, fat sunflowers and put them in this on our kitchen table.

The day I went to Michael's to get them, the sunflowers were on sale 2/$1! So I got four (the pitcher is not very big)..two white and two yellow. I could not be more pleased with the results!

There is something so cheerful about this look. Its very clean and crisp. I really love the way that the sun picks them up as it comes through the window, too! There ya have it...a new look for the kitchen table that really could work for more than just fall. Cost us $3.50 over the course of a few months! I LOVE Goodwill!

Here is this week's linky party!
