A Little White....Urn....Never Hurt Anyone!

I have written about my little white urns before.

I bought six of them for $3.18 a piece after continually

checking on them at Pier 1.

The original price for each one was $12.98.

They are CUUUUTTTTEEEE. But not $12.98 cute!

Originally they had plastic (really!) cactus in them.

I could not wait to tear out that cactus and 

put white pumpkins on top.

Since them I have used them 

every single season,

and topped them with something different

each season.

 

For summer I took four of them and lined my

new fireplace in my living room.

At each end I put a concrete topiary

that I bought at Wal-Mart at the end of the summer season

for $3.00 each.

They were originally $15.00.

I guess I am pretty darn good at stalking

.....something I want to buy!

The green balls I put on top of the 

little white urns

for summer

are from Michael's.

I happened upon them

(no stalking involved!!)

at 90% off.

I grabbed them up!

So for right around $25, I have my summer mantle.

That is $25 spent in comparison to the full price of

little white urns, cement topiaries, and green leafy balls of....$115.00!!

I have also put the green leafy balls

in a galvanized tray and a wicker tray.

They, like the urns, are multi-functional.

That makes it even better.

Since I only used four of the 

little white urns

on the mantle,

the other two are in 

the dining room.

I topped them off with 

looking-glass paper weights

I bought at 

Nell Hill's

annual warehouse sale.

They were $1.00 a piece.

I use them various places and various ways

as well.

Tonight when I was at 

Wal-Mart

I saw softball size 

real orange pumpkins.

I smiled to myself 

thinking 

it would not be long

before small white pumpkins

are available to buy as well.

The sweet little white urns are about to

get their new duds.

They (and their accessories) might have been 

cheap finds,

but they are worth their weight in gold!
