I was visiting Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home the other day and she posted about finding some pretty new writing paper at the Dollar Tree near her. I had about an hour in between work and Weight Watchers Tuesday evening so I thought I'd stop and see what my Dollar Tree had. I didn't see any of the pretty paper she found, but I did find some other nice things.
I think these little birdie tealight holders are so sweet. These two are for me and I got a third to give away. I haven't decided where I'm putting mine yet ~ so they may end up getting painted. We'll see...
Aren't these prim little sheep cute?! I love their curly wool coats!! One of them is going to live in my family room. The other one is for a gift.
The two little piggies are for Charlotte and Penelope and the sign is for Penelope too! I'm going to change it a bit with some buttons, ribbon and paper before I give it to her.
This baseball bank wasn't from Dollar Tree ~ I picked it up for Elijah at Target.
All the banks will live at my house. I can't wait until my grandbabies can take a coin from me and drop it into their bank. My grandma used to give me quarters when I was little ~ it's a special memory for me and I want it to be one for them too.
"Plant a seed of friendship and watch the blessings grow."
I got two little quote notebooks. They're about 3 x 4 inches ~ such a sweet little size. There are Bible verses and other inspirational quotes in it.
I also found two packs of notecards. The colors are so pretty and I love the bird scenes. The verses are beautiful.
"A simple moment of nature's beauty inspires the soul and uplifts the heart."
"Plant a seed of friendship and watch the blessings grow."
Finally (at least for this trip) I found these packs of brads ~ my favorites are the copper butterflies and white dragonflies in the pack on the left. Thanks to Kelli for mentioning Dollar Tree ~ it was definitely worth the trip for me!

Hi Marie,
Let's see. I'm catching up as usual tongiht. I got a kick out of you finally getting your Raggedy Ann when you graduated from HIGH SCHOOL! But then...I should admit that my mom gave me a Hollie Hobbie stuffed doll for Christmas when I was 18. : )
I also loved the adorable photo shoot of your little cupcakes below. I can't get over those cute, cute smiles.
And I love the wonderful finds you picked up over at Dollar Tree. Now, I'll have to run over. Thanks for the heads-up.

p.s. Loved all the Etsy strawberries too. Let us know if you get some.
Hi Marie!
