When decorating for fall or the holidays do you remember to add some flair to the great outdoors? I do, gives me even more space to decorate and adds some charm to the house. Hubby made me window boxes in the spring and I had them plum full of petunias and vinca vines, but I didn't want them to sit bare till next spring, so with some extra fall foliage and flowers, I used the dirt as my base, it holds the flower picks in place nicely, granted these shown here will always be my outside decor, and that's fine. I found the lanterns at Family Dollar for $3 each, they match our shutters and can also be used for Christmas decorations. I'm happy my window boxes won't be empty all year long!I've never blushed so much as when reading all your super nice comments on the followers fall giveaway, you guys sure do know how to boost a ego! But really, you all seem to like my blog for the same reasons, recipes, crafts, decorating and country living.

Love your decorations! That little lantern just completes it! I've had a ball decorating outside this year. So much so, I've neglected the inside and need to get back 'at it' this weekend. -Tammy

ReplyDeleteJ went to the clubhouse for coffee, this morning. We don't have a rain gauge here, so didn't know how much precipt. we have had. He found out when he had coffee with the guys this AM, we've had 5 inches since Wednesday evening. It stopped for awhile this morning, but it looks like it's started again!!
I love the mosaic!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, Sue! I love those lanterns~great deal for $3.
ReplyDeleteI tried to do a little porch decorating, but Jackie dog is still too much of a puppy and has too much fun with decorations~so guess I'll try again next year!
Your fall decor is positively charming! I love the little scarecrow! Why not add a wind spinner to your decor? It's a great way to catch the autumn wind.
