so.
i've started collecting some stuff that I consider my "old faithfuls."
i'd like you to meet my two favorite old faithfuls. i've found these at various thrifty stores and am in love with them.so. much. i mean, in reality, they're just cupcake stands.

| don't be deceived by their dainty appearance... |

| i almost feel sorry for this little guy, trapped in a glass. |

| pure, innocent little pumpkin jar |
 |
| whatever could come of this combination? |
 |
| it's almost as if it were meant to be... |
for my pre-halloween decor (i always bring out some pumpkins, mums, etc before the end of August), i've decided to bring out the old faithfuls again. this time, they've captured some pumpkins which they're proudly displaying, in all their glory.
here they are:

| it still makes me giggle to think that a pumpkin is displaying a pumpkin. teehee |
ultimately, it's a quick (and thrifty) way to decorate! not to mention, it's pretty rad looking, too.
so.
that's one of the ways i'm able to cut back on my decorating budget. what about you?
how are you all able to stay thrifty and cute?

Very pretty! I wish I could find some cupcake stands at thrift stores/garage sales.
I'm in love with them. ;)
This is a fantastic - and yes, super simple and quick! - way to decorate for fall! I've actually done a few similar displays myself this year using apothecary jars, moss, and gourds. All things I too already had.
Your little cupcake stands are adorable, and I love the pumpkin jar is amazing - so wish I could find this kind of stuff too for such deals!!!
Great work!
Take care,
Christina

Storage is a big issue with me so I love to see ideas that use the same pieces with a totally different look. Great job! I'd love for you to share with my readers if you get a chance. Thanks! http://www.momontimeout.com/2011/11/taking-timeout-thursday-link-party-no-3.html

I have that same glass pumpkin! I love it, I found it at Good Will for $5, so you scored a better deal than me! It's great to use what you have, this looks perfect for fall decor. Great job!
