Shopping at a reasonable price!

I love to shop! With this passion comes "SALES"... so I am always looking for cute things and ways to doll them up and make them look even better. I think where you place it & how you place it is the biggest way to make something look expensive, but on a budget!

I saw a candle at a store in our town that had crystals all over it and wanted it so bad... but, it was $80.00! Why $80.00 for a candle that had some design? I don't know. But, I found something I liked and wanted to go on it and duplicated it! So, here it is... AND, it cost me ONLY $6.00!

I found this fabulous find at Hobby Lobby on sale for $10.00 on the 66% off aisle. I love the crown look up top and how you can place whatever you want into the vase. I placed a few fussy green decorate balls that I had around. I'm thinking some sparkly green & red one's will be perfect for Christmas time.

This isn't new but I bought it 6 years ago for $10.00! I love it and it's rustic looking. I want to find a new place for it. Currently it's in our bedroom, but I am searching desperately for a nice place for it in my living room/kitchen area because I am hoping to give my bedroom a makeover before too long. Who knows where it may end up next!

Would you look at this pantry? There is NO cheap way to make this look good but I thought I would show you how ridiculous it looks, and how amazing it's going to look tomorrow! ;)
