Here are some of my dollar store finds put to good use. For my "English Tea Garden" I glued a tea cup and saucer that I got for $1 to a carved wooden post. I have 3 of them and I am going to put bird seed in them for the winter.
Instead of buying the pricey large framed art piece to fill up that big empty wall in your house try this: I bought 5 frames at the everything is a dollar store ($5) then I bought 5 different pieces of scapbook color ($.25 ea = $1.25) and a package of gold letters ($2). In each frame I fit a piece of scapbook paper and 1 letter (in this case I used D-R-E-A-M). I had some ribbon on hand which I hot glued to the back. Then I hung each framed letter with about 5 inches between them. They were 8 inch wide frames so the total piece was 5 feet across and it only cost me $8.25.
This is the best one because it was free. I found this tree stump when I was walking around my grandmother-in-laws property. I used it as yard decoration for the first year I had it then when we moved I was packing it up to take with me and I noticed that it had a pretty good sized hole in it so I planted a mum in it not thinking it would survive, but that was last year and this year it more than tripled in size!
