Ursa Major

 This little guy is probably my favorite out of all my tattoos. It's MUCH smaller and has much less detail than the others, but the symbol is powerful and simple. Ursa Major, or the "The Big Dipper" is widely regarded as a symbol of hope and has acted as a guidepost for stargazers for centuries. It is also an integral part of mythology world-wide, with only positive associations. I grew up in the north, working hard and playing hard outside. Now, I will always take a piece of home with me wherever I go!

Three Items Under Two Dollars For A Rustic Vanity

I bought all three of these objects intending to decorate them with dried flowers, crystals, etc. However, when I got them home and looked at my vanity, I thought the simplicity of them looked beautiful in itself. The bottle works great as a bobby pin receptacle because a million don't pour out at once.

To give you an idea of prices here:

1. Grapevine Wreath- $1.99

2. Plain Glass Votive- $0.79

3. Apothecary Bottle- $1.00

Sometimes things are just meant to be simple!
