I have rediscovered Dollar Tree! We have a quiet, clean, and close-to-me one that I have been stopping in once a week or so. I don't go just to spend money, but I do a 15 minute walk-through and always find something I can use.
This week's trip netted me two vinyl signs for a craft project, more of those styro balls, some snacks, and faux flowers.
I put this vase together a couple of years ago, and while pretty, it's too much dark orange for what I had in mind now. At Dollar Tree I found two bunches of cream colored faux dahlias. I pulled everything out of the vase and started over with the stuff I wanted to keep. That vase was a Home Goods find several years ago, and the filler is Spanish moss.
I left a little orange, but the whole thing is less bushy now, simpler and more neutral. And at $2, it was a bargain update.
I pulled out the "Gather" sign that I found at the Target Dollar Spot last year, and added some burlap on the ends to disguise the clips. And I think I will just leave it like that - pretty simple!

I just bought some vinyl signs at the dollar store too. I find they make great wooden signs...no stenciling letters! Can't wait to see what you do!
I too have been stopping in ours every few weeks. They really do have some great things for crafting.
