Find of the Week
 |
I found this touch light at Dollar Tree. It’ about 3″ round by 3″ tall and runs using USB-C cord, not included. It’s supposed to be colour-changing, which this one doesn’t seem to be. It is also supposed to run on three AAA batteries. It doesn’t. You just tap and hold to adjust the brightness to get a white light, a warm light or a neutral light. The fourth tap turns it off.
While the first tap works by a gentle touch, I found that the 2nd to 4th taps needed a more aggressive tap. You could make use of this as a nightlight in a child’s room or in the bathroom.
You can add a layer of warmth to your home inexpensively by using a wide winter scarf from a dollar store, in place of a throw. It will add a decorative touch and cost a lot less than a traditional throw blanket.
I found the one pictured at Dollarama.

As an animal lover, I’m drawn to anything with a critter motif. So, when I saw a printed cloth placemat with forest animals, I grabbed it. The dollar store also had a fabric roll printed with woodland animals. I framed these fabrics to make decorative art that can be displayed on the wall or a side table and really love how they turned out.
Here’s how to create beautiful fall art using a placemat and a fabric square, both featuring forest animals and both from Dollar Tree.
