Borrowing an Idea and the Dollar Tree

While cruising around my bookmarks I came upon this post at 320 Sycomore. I have only recently found this site and I'm in heaven. Melissa has so many good ideas! She recently was inspired by some beautiful pieces she saw in a cataloge. With that inspiration she made her own version. When I saw them I wanted some too! She got all her supplies at Dollar Tree. I love Dollar Tree! So as soon as I could I headed there.

Here's my version.

I got the candle and the hurricane thingy at Dollar Tree. I already had the candle holder.

I, just like Melissa hot glued the candle holder to the hurricane thingy and then the white candle inside it. I just have to add when you glue it together you have to pay attention in order to get it centered. You can't be telling one of your three year old's to get off the counter, because if you do one of your beautiful creations might be a little off center. I'm just saying.

 

I used some fall looking leaves and berries that I cut off a dollar store vine and just dropped them in.

Pardon the crooked picture. The fireplace and the surrounding book shelves are a work in progress. I put most of that stuff up there a year ago right after we moved in and right before my boys 2nd birthday party.

So a visit the the Dollar Tree and only $4. I got some new pretties.

I can't wait to decorate my new pretties for Christmas!

Have you already started decorating for Christmas?
