Spring in a Hanging Moss Basket

It's early March and we are seeing some signs of spring here in N.C. 

Daffodils are blooming along with the pansies that have been showing their beauty in many places all winter long. 

So naturally, I couldn't wait a minute longer to have some spring hanging at home on our front door.

It's just a little touch freshness and a subtle hint of what's inside of our little, brick, cape cod.

Last spring the basket looked like this, in it's natural state, on our front door.

 This year I wanted something white!

So, with the magic of  spray paint and some white tulips our basket got a new look...

with some planted vinca, fresh rosemary, a bit of lavender, a burlap bow...

and a real bird's nest with some pearl eggs, too!

Here it is a more distant view....can you see our little "Gucci" peering at me from the window?

Here's a little glimpse at something inside.

Our mantel and fireplace, a centerpiece and bay window re-do is done. So, watch for the posts I'll be posting them soon!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP

and Gucci, too!

Rusty, Crusty & Glam on My Cast Iron Chair

My cast iron chair need a touch of fall and of course "some glam!"

First, it got some pumpkins.

and then I gave it some glam... I love this pic, it just oozes rusty, crusty & glam!

Rusty and crusty.

My 1800's beauty!

A, country, vignette with my vintage, watering can nad mandievella vine entwined.

The white pumpkins were from last years crop...I gave them a little, rub and buff face lift this week.

A giant version, beside our lamp post, got a touch up, too!

This was it's summer look with  a potted, red mandevilla vine..both chair and vine will, soon, be coming inside for the winter. They'll be back to present a new show in the spring!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
