Today I am participating in
When Debbie posted she was going to have a
Dollar Store party I knew exactly what I would use.
I had bought a package of Deer head votive at our local Bargain Store for only $1.25.
I am five hours North of any real dollar store, but
I think this qualifies as a dollar store purchase don't you?
To make my centrepiece I filled three tart tins I had with Epsom salt and then added my deer head votive.
I covered three small canning jars with Birch bark I had gathered from the woods.
The Pine cones that I've had for many years were then added, along with fresh greens my husband had just gathered.
I tied a favourite plaid wool scarf around the handle of the wooden box and voila;
A simple dollar store purchase, plus items I had around the house make a quick and easy centrepiece display!

Please hang in there with me friends as I am still battling with this old laptop.
It literally took over two hours to post this!
Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying your weekend.
It's cold and sunny here with snow drifts of three feet in some places..
Those votives are so cute, and I love the whole centerpiece, especially the birch bark!
ReplyDeleteKimberly, lovely, hand made, and the scarf finishes it so well. We have bark off our gum trees, but not so pale as your birch. I would forget a long drive to the Dollar Shop, this is perfect. Cheers from Jean
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is lovely, and it is so neat that you gathered so much from around your home to put this all together.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas season.

Kimberly-

Hanging in there for your computer situation...
--will be here when your at full power! :) Pat
Hello Kimberly, ohhh, I love the centre piece, looks great, Francine.
ReplyDeleteDeer head tea lights? I have never seen those but what a great find!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did an dI have a box/carrier just like the one you made your arrangement in, can you believe it? Now, if i could only source some deer head tea lights! LOL!
P.S. We got a foot of snow and it is only 22 today and was 9 when I got up this morning and this is the South but I'm loving it!
You did great on that challenge! Hope you stay warm up there, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteKimberly, your center piece is adorable...loving that red plaid. xoxo,Susie

Sorry you are having so many problems with your old laptop. That makes posting just miserable.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that is a really cute project...easy and cheap to make. Great idea! xo Diana
Very clever! I like the idea of covering the jars with birch bark. Sorry for the computer woes, that is no fun, hope you can get it fixed up. Have a nice Sunday and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and clever!!! I would say they definitely qualify for a dollar store type purchase!
ReplyDeleteKimberly you did a really cute centrepiece with your bargain store purchase. I love it! I'm sorry it took so long to make this post. That must be so frustrating and I really hope your computer problems will be over soon. You really have winter there already don't you? Wow. It was chilly here today - minus 5C and sunny - but there's no snow around except for the few blobs left from ploughing last week. The grass is green! Warm hugs. Pam
ReplyDeleteOh how adorable. And you bet they qualify, cheap, cute and buck qualifies. Lookslike a million. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCute! Love the way that you pulled it all together. Looks so pricey, and yet it was so thrifty.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your computer troubles continuing.
Here hoping it will all end soon.
Warm wishes..

I like your little dollar store centrepiece, it's lovely! The "Dollar Store" will soon be no more. Our Dollar Tree is actually a 1.25 store and Dollarama has only a few things for 1.00!
