Matthew 11:28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (NIV)
This post will be short on words, and full of Pictures. That's always the best part, anyhow, right?
Today was beautiful, so I started getting my porch ready for summer.
A few of these treasures spent the winter in the house, so now was the time to return them to the great outdoors.
It's still a little too early for annuals, not to many in stock yet, so I used some cut flowers for now. I just used some recycled cans with water inside the flower pots.
Hope you enjoy!
You know I always have to try and get a "spring" or two in my displays...
Thanks for stopping by my porch, do come back now.
If you like it, PIN IT!
Please leave a comment to let me know you were here, and I would love it if you wanted to follow along, I don't always know where I'm going, but I'm always glad when I get there!
Sorry if this post seems rushed, I'm trying to finish, with an ever increasing migraine, so forgive me if this is riddled with errors. Have a wonderful night!

Your porch looks so inviting. I'd love to have a place to hang a swing! I love the ladder with the scripture on top. Think I'll pin that one!

Wish I could say the same here . . . nothing but cold, rainy weather for weeks and it's pouring right now! But you've given me some great ideas to incorporate WHEN it does warm up -- I pinned your ladder! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I never thought of using a couple of trays on the porch, but they look really geat the way you have things displayed.

ReplyDeleteHi, Love your porch! It's very interesting and has a collected appearance over time. I love the little ladder. I also really love the 2-sided clock. I saw one like that at Hobby Lobby but never thouoght of using it outdoors. You did a beautiful job making your porch cozy and relaxed.

So very pretty, and I would be sitting her often - then I wouldn't get anything done. Because I don't have covered deck so many things I can't put out there, it rains often in my neck of the woods, But if I did I would dress it so similiar to yours. I have an old ladder that I will be using. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration over at Sunday's Best.
ReplyDeleteYour porch is beautiful...I love the stepstool...and the words on it:)
ReplyDeleteHope your headache is better and that you had a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE your ladder. Where did you get the trays that are on the ladder, the yellow ones? Love those. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Toot Your Horn Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteThe whole patio/porch is lovely. You made it really special with the pieces you added. I LOVE the scripture stepladder and the colorful trays. I just recently started with migraines, so you have my sympathy and I hope you are starting to feel better.

Hi again....I know I was here before, but just wanted to drop by this week to say CONGRATS! Your lovely garden was one of the posts I picked to be featured on my party this week. I have a feature button for your sidebar or a feature page if you would like it. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with me and have a wonderful Thursday.
