Speaking of Dollar Tree, they have an amazing assortment of ornaments priced at super low prices. Some are as little as 3 for $1.

But be careful, the store's options aren't exactly "goof-proof" so here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Opt for a color scheme that compliments your room. It creates a much more intentional and classy look.

2. Dollar Tree can be a great source, but stick to one or two colors and buy in bulk. The volume of similar or like ornaments will have much more impact that a few just here and there.

3. Load up on the classics. I purchased traditional gold glass balls in various colors and will use them to fill bowls and jars for a festive (and low cost) holiday look.

You are so inspirational about holiday decorating that I must send a comment for each one. I wish I had a dollar store around my way. I swear, you make me want to move to NC but I can't because it's a red state:) Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Margie! We'd love to have you in NC. If it helps my county is "blue". Lol!
