In observance of Flag Day.

Have you been to Dollar Tree lately?
They had one of these three-pack sand dollars left. One. You know I couldn't grab it fast enough so I could add my own touches. All I did was hand-stamp some cute beachy sayings on each one. I have them displayed in a wicker basket for a simple nautical look.
Total cost: $1.25 plus tax.
No beachy decor is complete without some free printables from The Graphics Fairy. This one always made me crack up. Karen has a ton more, so be sure to pop on over there.

Just a little before and after of these faux concrete candle holders from Dollar Tree. I loved them white, but I knew that the candle soot would make them dirty after each use, so...

Happy Mother's Day!

Have you seen these ceramic mushrooms at Dollar Tree? Someone on IG had the brilliant idea to paint the bottoms black and I was all in!
I forgot to take a before picture, but the bottoms were a boring beige. Look at them now! So much better. I'm displaying them inside, but you could also place them in your garden and use for autumn decor. The possibilities are endless...and all it took was some black paint.

Run, don't walk, if you haven't been to Target in a while. They've slowly been adding summer pieces to their DollarSpot (a.k.a. Bullseye's Playground), and the selection does not disappoint. First up is this mini cloche tray.
I imagine using it for outdoor entertaining. Cheese plate, anyone (especially since they also have chalkboard cheese sticks in the DollarSpot too)?! Or how about adding some mini faux flowers or robin's eggs for indoor decor?!
If you're going with a nautical theme this summer, you'll love this boat-shaped chips and dip holder. Again, only $5 and it looks pretty simple to put together. Did you spy the nautical rope balls and lanterns in the background? I'd use the rope balls as a vase filler, and I'd line the lanterns along our walkway leading to our patio. Prices: $3-$5 depending upon the item.
This sign is my favorite! I'm debating as to whether to hang it outside on the porch or keep it inside. Decisions, decisions. For only $5, I can just grab another one and do both - well, if they have any left. I grabbed the last one at our local store.
Not the best picture, but you get the idea for this metal sign. I'd use this on our porch since it truly is our happy place.
Our local stores are adding new items every day, so be patient if your stores don't have these items yet. Happy hunting and let me know what you've found!
