Friday's Favs...my 59 cent centerpiece


Sometimes you want to change a little something around the house,
but you don't want to spend a lot of time and effort
and you don't want to spend a lot of money.


But, let's face it, it's easier to buy something new, than to use your imagination to do something new.
It's a trap, I tell you, and one that's all too easy to get into!
(Yes, been there, done that.)


So, I have some of these whitewashed terra cotta pots that I got last year at the Dollar Tree.
I think I scooped up 5 of them.
I love the look and the detail, but most of all the price!


 I moved my old berry tote that I was using to hold my homespun kitchen towels on my wooden shelf  to the table and placed three of the terra cotta pots in it.
I placed one of my homespun kitchen towels underneath the tote.
Now all I needed was some flowers.


Begonias were on sale for 59 cents at a local store,
so I bought one and planted it in one of the terra cotta pots.


So simple, so cheap, so cheerful, so early June-ish!




I'm lovin' it!



Well, it's almost Friday, friends!
Have a HAPPY, HAPPY FRIDAY
and
a BLESSED weekend!
