Fall on the Front Porch

 Yesterday I showed you all of the fun things 

at Nell Hill's Fall Open House.  

I was smitten with her baskets for fall 

so I decided to use my baskets again 

instead of a wreath this year. 

 I really feel like I cheated on this project.  

Mr. Beaux was watching the Chiefs game 

and I know it only took me 

a few plays to finish these.  

I actually had smaller baskets 

that I had used on the door 

last year that were prearranged.  

I shoved those down into my new baskets 

and added flowers around the outside. 

 I tucked a bow to the side 

and hung them on the front door. 

 I found these mums at Lowe's 

with the cute "Welcome" sign on them.  

I know you can't see it,

but there are two adorable squirrels holding the sign.   

It is very clear to me 

that my next project is 

sanding the doors and re-staining them.  

The summer heat and sun 

have done a number on the poor guys!  

 Not that I am trying to point out 

all of my faults 

but let's add painting 

the light fixture to the list!

 I planted flowering cabbage plants 

in the windowsill planters 

along with some pansies.  

The pansies were on clearance 

because they were a little leggy.  

But that's OK with me, 

they will do just fine.

 I set up some pumpkins 

and more mums by my bench.  

The pillow is actually an outdoor pillow 

that I just turned around 

and pinned a sunflower to the front of it.  

Of course, the blanket won't stay outside 

but I sure love the colors!

 Looks like a nice place to sit 

and watch my Bubbies (fur babies) 

while they sniff around outside.

 Thanks for coming over.  

How's Fall coming along over at your place?

Don't be a stranger!

Until Next Time,

Have you ever finished a project 

and then stumbled across something better!  

I made my Spring wreaths 

and shared them with you a few weeks ago.  

Then, I spied these baskets at Nell Hill's 

the weekend that we were there 

and was dying to use them on my front door!  

Can you believe that they were only $10.75 apiece?  

They are a little over 17 inches tall 

and about 11 inches wide.  

I had some Forsythia (faux) 

and I wedged some floral foam 

in the basket to poke the branches into. 

I just layered all of my flowers 

from the wreath into the basket.  

I arranged some of them 

so that they were spilling over the edge.  

When I finished I thought it needed something 

so I made a little Welcome sign for it.  

These wooden discs are really thin 

so you can punch a hole with a hole puncher.  

I painted them black 

and wrote on them with a liquid chalk marker.  

I just tied them on with some string.  

It was cloudy all weekend 

so I thought that the pictures wouldn't turn out 

but they are OK.  

They are so Springy!  

You can tell that Spring is here because 

my allergies are acting up!  

But I love being outside!  

We cleaned out the WHOLE garage 

this weekend and I sold a lot of stuff on Craigslist!  

I had a lot of furniture 

that I needed to get rid of.  

It feels so good to purge 

and make money at the same time!

I can't quite start planting yet.  

But at least there is some Spring color 

on the front door!

Until Next Time,
