A White Pumpkin on our Mailbox

Our mailbox was the first thing to get it's new do in early September.....the rest came about little by little.

I resurrected last years mailbox swag and just added the new, white plastic, pumpkin and a new big, burlap bow.

It's the first thing to be seen that adds to our curb appeal.




The theme is carried right up to the front steps

and onto the door.

This was the wreath, that I made, that hung over our mantel last year...it looked nice in there, too.

A welcoming stand is on the right.



The owl is a single version of my "two southern owls."

Thyme is thriving in my rusty, little bike.

Red mums are the perfect addition for my old milk container.

I made an impromptu hand painted flag to replace our old glory.

Sweet potato vines and russian sage are "happy campers," too in our antique wash tub.

A lamp post vignette to welcome our guests.

My cast iron chair looks rather bare....it's had many seasonal looks. Last year's fall look was here.

My new vintage bike got a touch of fall, too!




More white pumpkins, the Halloween kind, found a home in the pots in the landscape vignette.

 Last year's version of  our mailbox and post, if you missed it, was here.

Our mantel was the next to get done....I'll be working on that post and will be back to share it soon, too! 


   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

My New Shop Space is Looking Purty!

I can't believe that it's been so long since my last official post...moving really does cause a bit of a set back and I feel so out of the "loop!"
But, we're all set up, now and comfy here in our sweet, little home. My daughter, Shaine, and her twins just left to go back home to N.Y. and my oldest daughter, Tanya, moved down the day after. We had the best of times at the beach and touring around our new "southern digs"....even got to watch them film, again in Southport, an episode from "Under the Dome" on CBS. It looks like a great, new series!

So, the "tours" are done, for a while at least, and I am now focusing on filling up my new, teenie little, shop space with lots of vintage and upscaled goodies at

Now, come on in and take a "little" tour!


A prop door from home and all glammed up....it looks like it's there to stay!

This was my pile of inspirations!



White burlap and white painted, chicken wire were added to create a display showcase.

And a "shabby glam" burlap, swagged bow.

Here are some of my offerings, like this vintage demijohn, with lots of "shabby glam" accents.



A "shabby lining" inside the box with a copy of my "Pocket of Love"
Pretty cottage rose plates.
Mirrors with more glam.
and some with  glitz. 
More vintage, upscaled and adorned treasures to find!
A white, bushel basket and vintage lace.
 Another little creation that I just brought in.


Well, I've got lots more projects in store and then I'll have to find a spot to cram them in or rent another space!
"Miss Minnie"....I'll be waiting!!!

Until then....

Love, Hugs & Kisses,
JP
