Quick and Easy Valentine’s Day Decorations

I love how cute this candy dish/jar turned out.

This is what the poor guy looked like when I brought him home from the thrift store. He was tucked back on a Christmas shelf, all dusty and sad looking. He was only a buck so I couldn’t just leave him there!

After a VERY good bath and the addition of some yummy candy, he was looking marvelous!

I whipped up this little guy too for my coffee table!

I pulled together a small glass plate my nephew had given us for Christmas, glass marbles, a votive and a little Valentine’s Day bucket I picked up at Target for $1.00! Don’t you just love the $1.00 bins at Target!?

I sat the bucket on the glass plate and sprinkled the glass marbles all around it and inside and plopped the votive down in the center. Viola!

Super easy and cute!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A Beach Inspired Dump Rescue

A couple weeks back I found this candle holder at the dump. Yes, the dump! I know what you’re thinking…”Ummm, Humm, girl…you should have left it there too!”.
