Happy Monday! What a crazy weekend. To all of those who asked: yes, I did get everything done before my parents arrived. Everything except my tree, that is. My mom took one look at my put-together but completely bare tree, and promptly ordered me to bring in my bins of ornaments so we could start decorating. I went upstairs to change my clothes, and by the time I came back down, she was finished decorating. My mother is a force to be reckoned with. "Sarge", as my father loving calls her, gets things done. Pronto.
Speaking of ornaments, look what I found! I have no idea where this ornament came from. I do not have a child, so I have no clue why I am in possession of a baby pacifier ornament. Very strange.
Today I wanted to share with you some great finds from the Dollar Store. You really can't beat the price, and they have some super cute seasonal items.
First of all, the trees! I've seen these all over blogland, so you may already have stumbled upon these beauties. They come in silver, green, and red.
These are my favorites! They are bobbleheads, believe it or not. They have santas and snowmen in various poses, and are made with glitter and sequins. You know I love me some bling bling, so I had to have these.
These are little tealight holders, and they also come in snowmen and santas, in various colors.
More figurines... these are done in soft blues. Very pretty and the snowmen could easily transition into winter figurines, not just christmas.
Of course I got all the supplies for my peppermint wreath from the Dollar Store.
I'm the proud owner of about 7 of these little swirly trees. Aren't they pretty? They have glitter and sequins as well, and come in red, lime green, silver, and gold.
These ornaments are a few years old, but they came from the Dollar Store. LOVE THEM! They are by far my favorite ornaments that I own - and they were only a dollar!
What awesome finds have you made at the Dollar Store? Please share!

i LOVE the dollar tree. i'm just not allowed in there often because i can easily spend $30 or more at one time.
the best thing i ever bought in a dollar tree was years ago (like 8 or more), when i purchased 7 packs of 4 stencils for school. those stencils are still in good condition. best 7 bucks for school i ever spent!!
i also like the hand soaps. thanks to someone's blog (yours), i was able to put together a very nice bath basket for under $5 per person for teachers at school!
glad you got things together before your parents came. i was wondering, too.
Your dollare tree sure has better stuff then mine. You really found some great things.
I have passed on an award to you
Merry Christmas
wow, sarge you rock!!! I love dollar tree!
I love the blue, winter-y looking snowmen. I like the decorations you can leave out the entire season.
My daughter is sitting here and LOVES the peppermint wreath! She's getting a sugar high just lookin' at it!

Oh my goodness what cute things!!! I havent been to the dollar store recently, but whenever I have something to decorate I am SO going! Too cute!
Who knew such cute stuff is right there at the dollar store?! I love your decorations.
I love your Dollar Tree finds!!! Those sparkly Christmas trees are cute! My mom bought me a couple at Wal-Mart last week...red, of course...one had glitter, but the other was made up of these large sequins...love it! Glad you managed to check everything off your list before your parents arrived. Too funny about your mom☺ My mom is kind of a "sergeant" too.
WOW - what awesome finds!!! Are you going to "the Dollar Store" or one of those "everything is $1.00" places... big difference... gotta know... love those trees!
Your mom sounds amazing!
I love all your Dollar Store finds. The trees are so cute.
I have found some pretty cool stuff at the Dollar Store myself. Great finds. Thanks for sharing your decorations. Glad to hear your Mom got your tree decorated for you. Enjoy your Christmas!
Dont you love the DOLLAR store!
I'm going to make the dollar store one of my weekly outings (I think, I will honestly give it a try!) after the holidays. I bet I could pick up some wonderful stuff, on sale! *lol*
And then I'm gonna email you because I won't know what the hell to do with all this stuff next year! You're gonna be my "go to" person! You and Thrifty Decor Chick! *lol*
I love those Santa and Snowmen bobblehead!
we went to the dollar tree yesterday. they had the snowmen and santa tealight holders, but that was it. the rest had been bought up. i did get a BUNCH of tealights to burn in my tart warmers. and i only spent $8. my kiddies love the pop up towels. we got 4 of those :)
Man, I gotta catch up on my blogs! I'm missing all this good stuff. It's amazing what you can find at the Dollar Store, isn't it? Your finds are so sweet. :)
