Front Porch for Late Summer

The Independence Day Star has been put back on the shelf. It may be used again in December though. I have an idea that might work for a Christmas Star. We’ll see.

In the meantime, I wanted something on the porch between now and the beginning of football season. GO, HOGS! It’s been so hot and dry here, a watering can seemed like a nice option!

(You might remember this watering can from the Guest Bedroom Makeover . If not, just click HERE .)

It hung on the porch alone for a few days. I liked it, but it seemed a little quiet. Some “zhuzh” would be nice.

When I was cruising through our nearby Dollar Store, I noticed silk flowers on sale 70% off!! Now that’s my kind of sale!

The chosen stems were completely different lengths, but that’s nothing to cause worry. I grabbed my purple wire cutters. A few snips later and the arrangement was complete!

Nice and cheery!
Can you believe Back to School is just around the corner? I hope your summer has been filled with joy! 😉 -Marci
