Our Hopeful Home: dollar store finds

January 2, 2018

Some years I manage to post a ton of Christmas decor ideas and DIY's. This year I was not as successful in that department as I would have liked. Hence a Christmas-related post in January! Seriously, I've been thinking about this one for a long time. And I think it's timeless no matter what month of the year I share it in. You all know my M.O. is thrifty decor with a vintage twist!

Well, whaddya think? I kind of like it.

Chickadee number three helped me cut the wildflowers this morning so we could test out our new pop-up vase. They're the first so far to bloom. Aren't they pretty?

If you missed my post on the amazing vase from the other day, just go here. Back yet? Okay. As I was saying, I kind of like it. When we first poured in the beads and the water it looked like this.

Then after a few hours it looked like this.

And after overnight it looked like this!

I intended to tie some sort of burlap or something around it as an embellishment but that hasn't happened. Might look nice, though. I'd say it was worth the $1.00 investment. (The package says it's reusable, time will tell on that.) Now I just have to keep my kids from sticking their hands in it!
