DOLLAR TREE EASTER CRAFTS
Most craft stores I like are Joanns, Michaels, and even Hobby Lobby. However, my favorite place is the dollar store. There are a few different well-know dollar stores, but my absolute favorite is the Dollar Tree.
If you have followed on this blog for any amount of time, you might find that I usually repurpose found things, but my go to store for "homefaking" is Dollar Tree.
O.k...so as some of you might know, my home is a Victorian farmhouse...no, not all that white and wood you find saturating the internet. Mine is a painted lady of sorts. She has a copper roof which is offset by her many colors of burnt orange, burgundy, green and gold.
As you might well imagine Easter and spring colors are quite the challenge for me. They do not look well against her coat of many colors. This year I decided to think out of the box on my decor. I have always loved Mackensie Childs decor, but was never willing to pay the price .
Hmmmm, well lets just see if the Dollar Tree has anything I could repaint and use...So off I went.
I found these cute little garden stakes that were the perfect size for my window boxes.
And this cute unpainted sign...
And a bunch of other stuff...
O.k....$30.00 later off I went to create...

Pink Ceramic Christmas Tree ~Shabby Christmas
Ahhhh...well I got my ceramic Christmas tree...FINALLY.
I have been looking for a vintage one, but oh dear!!, they are pricey!
Soooo I found this one at Walmart for 25 bucks!...and it has a MiniMe tree that was about 7 bucks...
The thing I LOVE about these is they are battery operated, and have a built in timer..PERFECT for in the middle of a table, no cords, and I won't forget to turn it on....or off...
Now ....YES.... I did customize mine...
I added some roses I made from that baked clay, and I top coated her in a pearl finish, as well as a touch of glitter.
