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!

Front Door Wreath... it's a l'il bit chippy!

Our wreath was calling for a new look to match the front of our new home. Since, it had acquired a worn and weathered look from being outside and I just love chippy and worn, I chose to leave it alone and just add some pretty, artificial flowers to match the color scheme of the outside of our house.

Here's a little glimpse with a little butterfly added with Pic Monkey (Royal Upgrade)

a little bit more.
 
 The wreath looked like this, on our mailbox, at our home in New York.
 
 
Oh, I miss our clematis...it will be even bigger this year. Kristi, send me pics!
 
 
 After removing the purple and pink  flowers it looked like this.

Now, it looks like this with faux, white hydrangea, red, flowing flowers (not sure what they're supposed to be) and a white, burlap ribbon...do you like?
 
Pretty nice!

Red anthuriums make a perfect accent to our stoneware collection.

 The 1800's, cast iron, chair is in this post here.

A sweet view from the road.
 
 Lookin' good for the weekend!
 
 Happy Memorial Day, Y'all!


Love Hugs & Kisses,

JP
