Greetings! I’m loving all of the great fall ideas that are sprouting up in blogland, and thought I’d share a quick, cheap and cute idea for a fall table. Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier than this. I started with hurricanes that I bought at Goodwill for $1.99 each.  I swear, I can’t ever pass these up when I see them. The next ingredient is simple (and yummy). Put it all together and you end up with this. (No, my candles aren’t wavy – just the wave of the hurricane making it look a little funky.)  You get the idea.  Fun and festive for fall!

One place where you can really get a big bang for your buck is by picking up lamps with potential at yard sales or Goodwill.  I have found some real goodies this way, and have added another lovely lady to my home.  If you can get past much of the raw ugliness and look at the shape, you’re in business. A good example is my fun pink office lamp that I scored at Goodwill and blogged about here. Then there was this handsome devil that ended up in my son’s room.  He started out brassy, but you’d never know by how he looks now.  You can read about his transformation here. I picked up this new lovely at Goodwill also, and I did pay more than I would have liked – about $15.  This Goodwill store seems to think they’re an antique dealer or something, because 1) their stuff is overpriced in general and 2) they have A LOT of inventory as a result. I didn’t buy it the first time I went in, but I found myself thinking, “I should have bought that lamp”, so I picked it up the next time I was in the area.  It was still there […]
