Out on the Fall Porch

Hello my friends,

hard to believe that there are only 3 days left in September!

 

I don't know about you, but for me it just flew by.

 

Once Oct. arrives I switch my décor from fall to Halloween.

 

I'll be adding just a bit of spookiness to the front porch. 
But before I do I thought I would show you what it looks

like right now.

 

 

The 100 year old white door ended up here out of laziness.  (wink)

I was decorating when hubby was at work and I wanted to move the door into the garage, but it is so darn heavy that I decided to just move it from one side of the porch to the other for fall.

 

All of my outdoor planters are still flourishing so I brought this watering can planted with a sweet potato vine around front.  A rustic bench and a perfectly plump pumpkin completed the scene.

 

I just about threw this sign in the garbage because it was so faded.  But then I thought to myself.  "Jann, if you found this at a thrift or yard sale you would buy it and give it a make over."  So, I decided to do just that.  I repainted the words and pumpkins then rubbed a little stain on top for a bit of shading.

My rusty harvest moon was a gift from my friend, Joyce years ago.  He makes me smile!

 

I thought that my old push mower was the perfect colors for fall.  I planned on making an autumn banner to hang from it, but never got around to it.

 

 

 

 

I placed two old coal buckets filled with pumpkins on each side of  the porch pillars.

This poor bucket has seen better days, but I love it!

 

I love unique pumpkins, but this year I have not came across anything real unusual. 
 

This one is a little pale, so it caught my eye.

 

 

Isn't it funny the things we drag home with us?  I spied this twig while hiking with my hubby and daughter.  Loved the lichen growing on it.

 

 

Pink and orange are complimentary colors.  This little impatient plant in an old minnow bucket started blooming again just in time for fall.

 

 

I placed a bundle of wheat in a large funnel and added my watering can with the orange spout and marigold.

 

 

 

 

My chippy aqua filing cabinet made it's way into the corner.

 

The Cosco stool and hanging bucket are some of my vintage finds.

Love the white and warty pumpkins!

 

I have had the little wooden cornstalks for years.

 



 

My hanging geraniums are still putting on a show.  This past week we have been back to summer time temps.

 

 

Having a glorious Fall!

 

hugs,

Jann
