The Versatile Candle Holder

Glad you all stopped by for a little thrifty note today.

Never underestimate the many uses for your candle holder. This is one of two I got several years ago on the sale table at Kohls. Boy, have I used it in almost every season and special occasion.

Don't take your candle holder for granted. You can put grass and plastic eggs in it for Easter. You can put sand and seashells in it for the summertime. You can put little topiaries and vases with sticks in it for spring or winter. What about putting a tree limb candle holder in it. LOL. You could also put real or fake fruit in it.

Here's the point. If you need a table or mantle decoration to remind you of the season or a reason to celebrate be sure to grab your candle holder and load it up. As a last resort you can always put a candle in it. LOL.

These are some ideas I have used.

I'm sure your thrifty mind is racing with ideas you could use to decorate with your candles holders. Maybe I should have called it a hurricane candle holder. LOL Either way you all get the idea. Just think outside the box. The only thing you have to do is like whatever you put in it. There are no rules. 

Be blessed this week and remember to keep your thrifty eyes open for ideas!!

The Incredible Sharpie

Hello and I'm glad you stopped by for a "thrifty" moment.

Today's post is about the incredible sharpie. I don't know who invented it but I am thankful. There are so many uses for this little pen.

Most of the time when we think about a sharpie we think about marking moving boxes or items for kids who are on their way to camp for the summer. Maybe we have used it to mark bags or containers going into the freezer. But don't sell this little fellow short.

Here are some things which the sharpie has given a second chance. My favorite pair of leopard shoes. Oh what a happy camper I am. They will last a while longer and even look sort of new.

How about a scratched up tray someone was throwing out but it just needed Mr. Sharpie to come to the rescue. Really! No one is going to get down and see if there were any marks that have been covered up with my favorite friend.

I'm sure there are many sharpie tales out there about how it has helped us to be "thrifty" folks. Plus unbeknown to me they even come in colors and different sizes. Oh dear!! There is no telling where you will find these in use over at our house. LOL

I hope you all have a great week and remember to stay "Thrifty."
