Fall Decor Find @ Target Dollar Spot!

I’m a little behind on the Fall decorating this year, what with the move and all, but I have started to decorate. Last weekend I spend some time putting out my fall table linens and I’ve been craft hoarding some supplies for new decor for this year that I need to get finished up.But, what’s really caught my eye this year has been all the fun stuff at Target Dollar Spot! Though, I have to ask, when did it become the Target $2.50 spot? Annnyway, check out this little guy that I picked up the other night:I know, I know, some of you probably want to tell me owls aren’t cool in decor blog world anymore, but come on how cute is he?!? And for $2.50! Shut the front door. Right now, he’s holding some Halloween candy that I clearly shouldn’t have bought this early. 😉 Back later today with more savings…

It cost me all of $2.00! Here’s my dilemma though. This was “done” two weeks ago, but I kept wanting to add to it – make it grander, but something told me to stop adding and live with it for a bit. I love the way it looks but something still nags at me. I feel like something is missing. Any suggestions?

Dollar Store Fall Decor

Last year, I spent a lot of time and effort making Halloween decor (that I will show you next week) for our newly annual Halloween party, but this year I wanted something more transitional. I like Halloween, don’t get me wrong, but pumpkins and spiders only go so far between October 1st and Thanksgiving. Obviously, since we’re saving for a house I didn’t want to spend a lot on new decor so I turned to one of my favorite stores – Dollar Tree. I also gave a little love to the Target dollar section. (There’s a reason they put that stuff by the front door and it sucks me in every time!)Check out what I made for our dining room table – all of which totaled NINE BUCKS (plus a couple of things I had already):First, I made these floral poms. Each one is a wiffle ball covered in “silk”…
