FALLing In Love

My favorite season for a long time was winter. Snow, time off of school, snuggling under the covers - all of those things were very important factors when it came to choosing my favorite season. But ever since my husband has worked an hour away, the snow scares me, and my favorite season has changed to fall.
All that to say, I have been upping my style factor for the season lately. I am about to buy my first pair of ankle boots (never thought I'd wear them!), and an orange dress. But more importantly to me, crafts are sporting those fall colors, as well.
One of my recent finds that I was SO very happy about, were my candlesticks I bought for $2 each.

Cute, right?

I didn't know how to paint them, but I decided on orange, since I knew that was a color I wanted more of.

After I had them painted, I was at my in-laws' home when they laid out a bowl of candy corn.

Bam.

I had yellow and white craft paint at home, so I painted the ends, and I am SO happy with how they turned out!

 

So now I'm set!
By the way, I found that the tops and bottoms unscrew from the wooden stick itself. That made it so much easier than using paint tape. I know it may seem like a dumb thing to note, but if you ever paint something and aren't sure how to paint around certain parts, check to see if they are removable.
I didn't at first.
Woops.
Happy thrifting!
