The weather feels more like Novemeber than October. A cold drizzly rain is coming down, and I'm about ready for something warm to drink. Some of these pictures were taken last week when I had a sunny day, and some this afternoon while the wet stuff is misting.
I keep a white wicker cone basket on the porch and change out flowers for the season. It had been a sage green color, but it never showed up very well, so last fall I decided white would be best. Now I just change out some floral pieces and bushes for whatever season it may be.
I found this little "half-bench" park bench before Christmas last year. It's small but really heavy. It's really too big for the space on the front porch, so it receives the same unhappy remarks and glances that my black bench inside finds. My husband appreciates my decor as long as he doesn't have to fall over it. Or as in this case, just to be able to get the door open.
Love this "Cinderella Pumpkin"
Poor old white watering can,
with a big rusted hole in it.
Makes me love it all the more.
My little rabbit had to join in for the fun!
I especially love these little "button mums".
I've shown this old embroidered towel before,
but I just love the texture of it.
Well, at least the ivy loves this misty drizzle.
Visit Kathleen, our wonderful hostess for
and see the other participants.
Hope you're having a wonder-fall day!

That really IS a Cinderella pumpkin! How cool! And you're not ever lying about the ivy. We've had so much rain here lately that it's taking over our decks and porches. Not complaining though, we need the rain. We also need a gardener, though! ;-)

Debra, your porch looks very pretty. I love the little bench and have been looking for something like it myself. I sure am enjoying your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love every vignette - thanks for sharing your lovely displays - brings me right to your front porch. Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI have the same conical basket, but I painted mine black! Great minds think along the same lines, just opposite colors, lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy White Wednesday to you too Debra. I am so glad my chicks gave you joy. I actually e-mail a photo to Country Living just to show a Cali girl can be Country. Ciao Rita
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks so cozy. I like that little orange watering can and the basket full of festive fall leaves and flowers. It all looks so welcoming!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!

Debra,
ReplyDeleteYour decoration of the porch was truly an inspiration. I will have to tell you that last year I bought several containers of different mums and placed them by the front door the night before our family Thanksgiving. I was so happy with the decor, wheelbarrow full of mums and a scarecrow.
Then lo and behold, the next morning when I went to greet the first guests, the mums were chewed to the stems. The deer had visited the night before and apparently they also love mums.
I had to laugh again when I saw your lovely display at how the local deer ruined my decorating for Thanksgiving.
Lois
My goodness, Debra
ReplyDeleteYou always manage to have such beautiful and very inspiring pictures!! I love your vignettes!
My Best

It is all so pretty and I just think the little bench is darling. Your watering rusty watering can has seen many seasons come and go I am sure but it looks regal sitting there on your pretty porch.
