Another Little Owl
 I think I'm lucking out finding cute, thrift store owls.  I don't really collect them, but I see so much potential in them to make cute decor.  Especially for Fall. 
 This little guy I found for .99 cents.  What did I have to lose by buying it?  If it turned out hideous, then I was only out a dollar.  However, I gave it a few coats of white spray paint...
 and it turned out so cute!  It makes for a great candy holder! 
 Right now I have my Salt Dough Candy Corn in it.  I could also see planting some grass in it during the Spring.  Can't you picture this little guy with a grassy hairdo?! 
I've been on a roll finding thrifty things lately.  I can't wait to share them all with you.

    Way cute, Tanya! Love it! And grass in the spring would be awesome. It'd be so retro... Like a DIY chia pet, but with class. :)

    I found an owl just like that the other day!! It is partially painted and I was going to paint it somehow. I really like how the white turned out. Great job.

    Wow - I love how shiny it is....was it a special kind of white spray? I've seen that lacquer paint in a spray can but never sure what it would end up like....I'm hoping like that little owl of your - adorable....and yes - totally want to see it with green (chia pet) spikey hair.
