Fall Decorating with The Dollar Store

I love fall, or at least the idea of fall.  I live in Mesa, Arizona and by now, I am ready for the heat to be over and the cool weather to start.  It is still reaching anywhere from 104 to 110.  I did hear this morning that it is going to get a little cooler after this weekend which will be nice.  The mornings will be somewhere between 60 and 70 and the evenings will cool down too.  I love to go outside and sit with a cup of coffee when my day with the daycare is over -- can hardly wait.  Anyway, my hubby is a little slow getting my holiday decorations down, so, I went to The Dollar Tree for a few things and was so excited to see these.




I love mason jars almost as much as I love chickens, so, I just had to get a few.  I also picked up a fall vine and glass candlesticks.
  


So yummy....  I got apple pie.



I glued three mason jar candles to glass candlesticks and tied a raffia bow on them.  I took the Fall vine and laid it down the center of my table on a burlap table runner, then, I just scattered the candles using the vine as a guide.




Very simple, but, I like the effect.



I also grabbed a couple packages of yellow candles and a small bunch of sunflowers.



I took my wire cutters and cut the flowers from the bush so I had individual flowers.



I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my bottles and holder that I got from Decor Steals.  It has so many possibilities that I just get so excited when it is time to change it out.



I put three candles in the jars on one side and three flowers in the other.



Easy Peasy and what a burst of color.

I hope this will tie me over until my hubby gets my Halloween decorations down from the attic.

Wishing you a sunflower kind of day.

  14. What would we do without $tree? So much great incredible stuff, I could go crazy in that store. We have 2 of them in Grand Junction, one has great stuff other one is kinda blah. I see all the incredible things on here then try to find them at our stores. I loved the $tree we had in Bowling Green, KY when we lived there, I literally spent hours in that store.
    I love everything you did on your table, it looks so awesome, you did great. Hope I can find things like you did. The simplicity of your decorations is perfect, so clean and gorgeous. Happy week
