Happy Fall Everyone!
I absolutely love the crispness in the air and the undeniable urge to light my apple cinnamon candles in the house.I recently browsed around Pinterest and found alot of inspiration for fall decorating ideas. Last year I couldn't find my fall wreath and then we had our pumpkins stolen off our front porch for Halloween, so I lacked inspiration last year for decorating for Thanksgiving and such.
But, ta-da! This year I was inspired by many of my other blogger friends and pinterest.
Wanting to save on money while decorating I visited our local 'dollar general' and 'dollar store' in town (yes, I said town...we live in the country and it takes me about 30 minutes to get to town where the main attraction is the super Walmart). I hit up the after summer decor sale at 'dollar general' and scored on some urns. Got them for $3 each. Then I hit up the 'dollar store', which usually has lots more arts and craft items than 'dollar general'. I purchased some moss (sheets and then bushels) and some super cute green wired ribbon. All in all, I spent about $10 at both stores. I had just gotten some gourds for $5 a piece at the local grocery store that matched our house perfectly. I filled the urns with paper grocery bags for filler and then topped with the moss. I made sure that the moss layer was a little below the top edge of the urn so that the wind would not carry away my dollar store moss. I then placed my gorgeous gourds in the middle. I found my fall decor box in the garage filled with my fall wreath and some scarecrows from another fall decoration a couple of years ago and vuala!
I loved how it turned out and feel super festive!
Total Cost=$20.
