Dollar Store Decorating

Just sharing some cute things I bought at the Dollar General yesterday.  I got all these items for $8.00.  They are so cute, or at least I think they are.  This "Welcome" banner was $3.50.

 Isn't it cute?

 



For $2.00, I got this picture.

I love the post card picture on it.  So sweet.

 Of course this sweet little bird came home with me. ($1.50)


I placed the new items with a couple of others for this little vignette in the hallway at the lake house.

This butterfly wind chime was only a dollar.  It is a green color, but looks black in this photo.

I didn't spend much money at all, and am enjoying the cuteness of these little items.  Doesn't take a lot to make me happy.  When you want just a little something new to add to a vignette, don't forget your dollar stores.  They have lots of cute items.

  13. You found some very cute things at Dollar General. I like going there for their really low prices. We have a Dollar General Market which is like a small Walmart. They sell food and lots of lots of things for the home. The welcome sign you found is gorgeous. I love the pink color. Thanks for linking to Your Cozy Home Party.--------- Shannon

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
