My Dollar Store Find

Time for Thrifty Thursday hosted by Leigh @ Tales of Bloggeritaville http://lbratina.blogspot.com/ and Show and Tell Friday hosted by Cindy @ My Romantic Home http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ . Thanks Leigh and Cindy for hosting these fun events again this week. This is another one of the little treasures I got at the dollar store that is closing. I thought it it might look good with some some tall ornamental grasses or such for an arrangement next Fall. It is metal so if used for real flowers I would sit a jar or glass inside of it to hold the water. For $1.60 - thought that was pretty good.

We have beautiful blue skies today, but it is COLD!
Have a great weekend!

I don't think I have ever seen such pretty things in our Dollar store like you find. I love your vase.

Hi Glenda,
Great deal on the pretty container! I really like the colors. You're clever to be thinking about fall decorating now. It always makes sense to buy things "out of season," doesn't it? I try to do that with clothing.

We have blue skies too! I can't wait for spring :)
You got a great deal on your dollar store find...it's beautiful!
Blessings,
Donna

Love your new container. I think it would be wonderful filled with a lot of different things. Even bright white tulips or daisy's would be pretty for spring. Great find. Hugs, Marty

Sue said...

You could almost put that on its side and make a faux cornucopia out of it...fruit spilling out, surround it with fall leaves. You got a good buy!

That must be a really great dollar store. Ours seems to be hit or miss.

The snow finally stopped here. Back to the clean up!
