Wheat Decoration

November 6, 2009 by Chris

Me:  It just seems like I had more fall decorations than this.

Husband:  You could always use that bin labeled “Thanksgiving” in the garage.

Me: HEH???  Uh…could you go get it please?  And could you run?

TWO years ago, I bought this wheat arrangement at Target, and I completely. forgot. about it.  It was $39.99.  I think I bought it for $9.00.  We are talkin’ two years here.IMG_8198

I do remember that I bought it because it tied all my dining room colors together.  It validated my use of this difficult color on my walls!  And, yes, I’ll pay $9.00 for that any day.

In other news, the countdown has begun!  Please don’t forget that NEXT Monday is our “I Can Make That” party!  I can NOT wait to see all the things I’m going to have to add to my Christmas projects list.

Please join us!  I imagine I’ll be posting at 12:00AM.  I’ll confirm and remind again this weekend!

    I have the same wheat thingy. I also got it on sale at Target and I love it. I just put it out today and it's one of my favorites!

    Ha ha! I did that last year with some ornaments I had bought the previous year at an after Christmas sale. I found them the day after Christmas when I was re-packing a box to make room for my new stuff! I labeled everything this year. : )

    The great thing about forgetting about it is it's like buying something new all over and not spending a dime.

    Unfortunately, I do this with Christmas gifts also…but the family likes it…gifts whenever I run across them 🙂 Love the wheat and glad you found your decorations!

    I love when that happens! It happens to me quite often too b/c I always buy seasonal stuff on clearance and store it away. 🙂

    ha! Don't you hate it when that happens!?

    But don't you also love it when that happens!? It's like Christmas comes early!

    Cute stuff! 🙂

    Your fall decoration surprise is lovely. Also I like the scrap paper blocks behind them. What a clever idea. I have so many beautiful sheets that I would love to do that to.
    I am curious about the Monday thingy? I must have missed a post or something. I don't have any idea what that is.

    I've done that ~ sometimes I'm lucky enough to find it just in time, other times I find it when I'm packing up the stuff that's out. At least yours was labeled! Love your sideboard decor ~ the wheat is very pretty.

    Too sweet to find MORE! I can't wait til the linky party too. Looking forward to tons of great ideas. I have a couple of posts ready to link up and hopefully will finish another project this weekend. I'm excited about ANY homemade ideas!

    First of all, I love the color of the tin holding the wheat. Perfect color and I love the vintage look. So cute.

    I really enjoy seeing your design vignettes. Do you really have those fall colors our all year? Or are they just seasonal candles? Love it!

    🙂

    Beautiful! How wonderful that you found it. You're right: it does tie everything in your dining room together. . . well worth $9! Maybe even $10!

    Have a wonderful weekend! I'm looking forward to your party, too. I know there are going to be some wonderful entries, and you're doing this early enough that we can take advantage of the great ideas. Thank you!

    Ooh! I love finding little surprises in the attic to decorate with. Sometimes having a bad memory is a good thing … it makes life so fun when I rediscover something!

    My favorite piece in there would definitely have to be the ribbon! Oh goodness, it's so pretty. I know that's just a small part, but it's really so eye-catching! 😀
