an autumn urn

28 September 2009

I saw this $2 arrangement at a yard sale and it's not the flowers that caught my eye, but what was underneath it all..



the urn!

I took 2 bushes from my Hobby Lobby 90% stash, and made a quick cover up arrangement for all of the cords behind the t.v. stand:


I'm joining Kimm's Trash to Treasure Tuesday,


and Kimba's DIY day:

DIY Day @ ASPTL

I'll have more fall goodness on Thursday~
