AUTUMN VASE

Oh my, we are having some awesome rain here finally!  It's been a long, hot summer and I am pretending like it's fall already.  I wanted to bring some more fall color into my decor so I made this little vase.
 This was one of my easier projects.  I have four of these white vases that I got for $1 at my grocery store in a clearance basket.  Seriously!  I have no idea why they had vases at all in the grocery store, and there was only one box of them.  Believe me, I dug through that cart to see if their were more!  But at 25 cents a piece...at least I had one box of 4!!
Anyway, I gave this one a shot of spray paint in a nice fall color, tied a ribbon around it and put a little jewel on the ribbon.  That was all.  
So easy, but so pretty....don't ya think?
Linking up to any or all of these fine parties:
