Autumn Front Porch

Welcome to my Autumn Front Porch!

These are my Front Door Greeters,

pansies in an urn found on clearance at Target,

a trio of pumpkins and a weird green squash of some sort.

When the kids and I went veggie picking recently at a local farm,

the other moms were very curious about how I was going to cook that green thing.

Cook it?  I told them it was strictly for decor!

I am extremely fond of the bright turquoise color of the chairs, 

and it shows up in pops all over my home.

I like to mix non-traditional colors and elements to keep things fresh and fun,

throughout every season.

A vintage picnic basket filled with hand-painted pumpkins and a homemade pumpkin topiary.

The basket was my first purchase ever on Ebay years ago, a local pick-up at an exclusive antique store.

I perused the store while the manager went to the back to get my basket,

and most of the items were super pricey.  

The manager asked me several times if I was interested in anything else,

while he rang up my $3.00 basket.

I replied, "No, thank you!" as I gleefully skipped out the store with my prized bargain!

This front door wreath is made from a dish holder from the Dollar Store,

wrapped in a floral garland with pumpkins & fruit tucked into it.

Though I made it a few years ago, the sign hanging below is an important new element.

I found it on mega-sale at Michaels, a little over a dollar.

But its message is absolutely priceless! 

The view from the front door.

 Planters and planters filled with Mums...

Thank you for visiting...

and please stop by my "Queendom" anytime for a cup of tea!
