Three Dollar Springy Finds | Family Economics
By Sandy
I walked out to my front yard to pick some tulips and there was a gentle spring rain coming down.

It felt so fresh on my face as I bent down to cut these beautiful red tulips. If I don’t enjoy them now, I told myself, in a few days their beauty will fade. I also love spring because of yard sales. And last Saturday morning I snagged this lovely $3 plant hanger to put on my front patio.

This looks like a great project for someone (but not me – no time!) to make on their own.
Wrap with your favorite paper, perhaps wallpaper.

And decoupage.

Tie the color of print in with your front door.

I’ve found that these containers are not always water-tight, so I put my tulips in a Ziploc® bag and add water.

I hung on my front porch.

My $3 find on Saturday was perfect for spring, perfect with my red front door and a perfect welcoming look for when our friends, family and guests come to say hello! What’s on your porch, or hanging on your front door?
