Guess what time it is.....?
Yep, you guessed it.
Time for a Valentine Porch Post!
Honestly, if it hadn't been for Jill, Miss Gypsy Brocante
I'd still be looking at red and green plaid and a few leftover Christmas goodies.
She enticed me to romance my sunroom for Valentine's Day,
when she asked me to be her first featured porch on her new
So I turned on the little heater
grabbed some pink, red, and romantic
and set to work.
If you haven't visited Jill's new get together on Mondays
be sure and drop by.
We'll all be sitting out there having our morning coffee.
(Gosh, don't you wish we really could?)
Can we collectively have a sigh for Spring to arrive?
Thanks Jill, for the motivation,
I feel a little like the proverbial groundhog out here;
climbing out of my warm nest to check and see if there is a shadow!
Thanks for dropping by the porch,
next month I'm hoping for a hint of Spring.

It looks great, Debra! I love that heart wreath and the touches of red you've sprinkled throughout!
ReplyDeleteI've said it before - I'm gonna say it again. If, at some point, you walk out on to your porch and find me there - just grin and know it's 'cause I couldn't stay away one minute longer. I LOVE it when you show your sun porch!!! LOVE it!

Do you also serve "passion" tea by tazo on your porch? (well, it IS pink tea, and it does evoke a bit'o'passion!!) ~lol!!

Oh Debra,
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a gorgeous porch like yours, always wanted one. Your's is so beautifully decorated, warm and inviting EVERY season,

I absolutely adore your Valentine Porch. You make THE most beautiful displays in Blogland.
ReplyDeleteHello! This is the first time I've actually joined your party! I added your button to my Blog Parties tab.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
Kelly
Your porch is gorgeous. Even my sixteen year old daughter sitting here with me commented the same thing. She loves the pops of red!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet feature. I truly appreciate it. My carpenter's box is really one of my favorite all time pieces. I love thinking about Jesus being a carpenter and I have a carpenter's box. Thanks again...
OMIGOSH Debra! I'm green with envy here looking at your red HOT valentine porch. It's the most gorgeous porch I've ever seen. Every single item you have there is perfection. Thanks for giving us such eye candy!

Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteone of these days will have a cup of tea on your porch. Love the reds. Have a wonderful weekend Ciao Rita mammabellarte
Your porch truly does express romance. Love it, love it, love it. You captured my attention with all the red, which happens to be one of my favorite colors. The wreath is amazing by the way.
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Your porch is just dreamy! All of my favorite things, I think I'll have to look at this again and again. Thank you for hosting us, Debra!!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Andrea
Wow Debre,
ReplyDeleteYour porch is absolutely gorgeous! I love red and white. If you see a slightly disheveled and frostbitten middle aged blonde woman with her face pressed against the window, don't call the police. It's only me trying to get a closer look! Thanks for the refreshing photos. If I can get around to posting something I will link up to your party tomorrow.
Typo... of course I meant Debra!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful porch! It is sleeting here, cold, cold, cold...I can't wait for Spring!
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year Debra! I love your romantic red porch, it looks so inviting! And your sweet vintage valentines look so pretty ~ especially love the candy box!
ReplyDelete:)Heidi
Love your porch! The heart wreath is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI should have had a post ready for VIF, but I am really slow these days. I need sunshine and 80 deg. temps to get me going again - this cold has got old. More frozen stuff predicted for tomorrow evening and Mon. night. :(
Again - Love your porch.
I'm glad you took that last wide shot. It looks fabulous! So glad you got the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are hardcore!
ReplyDeleteDecorating and designing up a storm in the midst of a blizzard! ;-)
Looks purty!
A-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!! It is so fresh and romantic -
ReplyDeleteI love the nest and bird in the birdcage.
Rhonda
Your porch looks so good. Mine is covered (& I mean pillows & everything) with snow that blew in during the blizzard. I also have wood & wood debris in case my utilities went off. Not a pretty porch! I love your pictures with your new camera -- there's really a difference. Thanks for checking out my giveaway. Finally....I have 101 followers. I'll put your name in the drawing. Stay warm! Jan
ReplyDeleteHi Debra-
ReplyDeleteYour Valentine porch looks amazing, and I love the red heart wreathe. It looks wonderful.
I have been thinking about you and wondering if you are trapped under layers of snow.
Thank you so much for the feature Debra.
I was so surprised, which made it so special.
Stay warm and stay in your pajamas!

Oh Debra, I just love your sun porch with all the splashes of red.... I especially love your sweet little bunny with the valentine scarf around his neck, and your wreath is just beautiful! What a inviting sun porch, Thanks for sharing yours, I've always loved sun porches, but don't have one of my own, maybe I can talk the husband into building on one day, until then thanks for letting me enjoy yours!!!

Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty here and in your sun room. I want to sit a spell and have a cup of tea. Your room is perfect and says cozy all over!

ReplyDeleteI would join in on the porch on Mondays, but never have it together on that day. Perhaps a reason to plan ahead and post ahead. I'm giving it some thought, thanks for letting us know!

ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your beautiful sun porch.
It looks especially pretty all decked out for Valentine's Day.

ReplyDeleteHi Debra,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful display of Valentine love, I am not a real big fan of red yet I find myself attracted to so many things in red these days. Your French grain sack pillow with the touch of read on it is the best and would love to find one for myself.
The Valentines are the best!!
Lots of hearts your way.
xoxo
