Frugal Fall Decoration

I just had to share my newest addition to the house and what a super cute table centerpiece it made. I bought the pip-berry with rusty star wreath up in Lancaster at a wholesale craft outlet for like $1.50 and thought that is was really adorable and bought it not really knowing what I was going to do with it. So I came home and started searching for something to deocrate with it, and low and behold, I found it. The candle dish I bought was on clearance years ago and had been shoved in the back of a cubboard along side a large collection of jar candles that I had forgotten I had.
Moral of the story: 1 pip-berry wreath + 1 Jar candle + 1 old candle dish = 1 Really super cute affordable table centerpiece!

Walgreen's Run!
