What is a girl to do when she wants to be crafty and add cuteness to her home with out maxing out the credit card? My answer is the dollar store. There are so many cute things to be had, it is hard to resist. I spent exactly $10.00 on my Halloween 'mantel', which is actually the top of my t.v. stand. I was quite please with myself at the outcome.
I definitely need some tips on doing mantles. Mine is entirely too symmetrical! At least it gets the job done.
Here is where I spent my money. Two foam pumpkins painted a mix of metallic gold and copper.
Two glass hurricanes, two black candle holders, one bag of peat moss and one bag of small rocks.

Looks great! I'm so jealous that you found a crow. There are two Dollar Tree's near me and neither one has had crow's!! I keep checking, but no luck.
