It's $1 chrysanthemum season!

Of all the seasons, one of my favorites is $1 chrysanthemum season.

Every year, at the end of summer, WalMart and Lowes sell small chrysanthemums for $1 each.

For $10, I can enjoy little pots of chrysanthemums all around my house for a couple of weeks.  Does it get any better than this?

I had the chance to get out a few days ago and go thrifting; I found a new place I'll post about tomorrow.  Afterward I went to the local Goodwill.

Would you believe that I found not one, but two of these planters the other day?  One at the thrift store and one at Goodwill?

I just had to do it.  I just had to do it.

Are these not adorable?  $3 for one, $4 for the other.

This lake house NEEDED these ducks!

After I ditched the fake flowers and put in the chrysanthemum pots...

I loved the delicate bird images on this planter I found at an antique store last week.  (There are 3 different birds on different sides.)  It was just waiting for it's chrysanthemums.

More $4 and $5 arrangements - my favorite kind!

And that includes the reusable planter.
