Dollar Store Owl
 So, my boys and I went to our local Dollar Tree yesterday in search of Green candy for my son's Birthday coming up. {He's having a HULK party} Anyways, we found this little guy and he just had to come home with us. 
He received the white spray paint treatment like the rest of my thrift store owls have, and look at him now.... 
 All fancy looking like he stepped out of a Pottery Barn or Anthropologie Magazine.  Amazing what some white paint can do.
 He's perched up on a shelf with some squash or mini-pumpkins {whatever you want to call them} that we actually grew in our yard!  Free, free, free is always the best for our budget. 
The old window came with the barn door that we made into a coffee table.  And, the FALL bunting was something I whipped up while working on some friends wedding decor.  I'll be sharing photos of the wedding at a later time.  I also wrapped some twine around a candle holder to give it a little Fall touch. 
If you have a Dollar Tree around, you should run out and find yourself this adorable owl.  Maybe buy a few and make some for friends.  Simple, frugal and really cute.
