Find of the Week
I like these dried floral bundles that you can find at Dollar Tree. There’s not a lot in each package, but, after I carefully separated each stem, I found there was enough to make a nice display. I cut the long stems of the beige bunch down to fit in this 5″ tall pitcher.
Mix and match the different types to get the look you like.
Quick Tip
Fill a ginger jar, or any large jar, with a collection of seashells for a summer/nautical look. I had previously painted a couple of these dollar store seashells and they add additional interest to this display.

I’m a bit obsessed with cloches. Large or small, I love them all. Did you know that you can make an extra-large cloche for your indoor decor using a charger plate and a garden cloche? I’ve done it before. This time, using simple supplies, most of them from the dollar store, I made a summer cloche using butterflies and mushrooms.

I thought I’d have a try at making one look more substantial. Here’s how to upgrade a Dollar Tree thermometer for your patio using a plastic frame also found at Dollar Tree.
