we’ve had the most beautiful weather here in upstate the past few weeks
mid 70’s and breezy … flowers everywhere. gorgeous.
it sorta almost makes up for the horrible winters we have
including this past never ending one.
i kinda skipped my spring wreath and went right into making one for summer
to make your own you’ll need just a few things…
a styrofoam wreath, some fabric cut or ripped into long 1-2 inch wide strips,
hot glue and some pretty paper
i followed LollyJane’s tutorial here for the paper pinwheels
wrapped the foam wreath with the fabric, secured with hot glue and added the pinwheels
that’s it!
oh and a few cute buttons 🙂
found these colored mason jar planters at the Christmas tree shoppe
and spruced up the front porch a little bit
Memorial day weekend is usually when the danger of frost here has officially passed
so i was happy to add some color to the front of our home
the wicker rocker was a curb side rescue a few summers ago
it’s been a lot of different colors … last year it got a coat of mint green
i like it still.
thinkin maybe coral next? or maybe white. i love white.
a few coats of spray paint to some old flower pots i found in the garage
were all these pretty plants needed
who doesn’t love daisies?
they’re the cutest.
the sign used to be an old mirror
i sprayed the mirror with chalkboard spray paint from joanns
then taped & covered the chalkboard part and sprayed the frame
it’s gonna be a beautiful weekend here … what are you guys up to??
crafting? yard work? hot dogs & smores??
yes please. all of the above.
♥ much love

Oh my goodness, I LOVE those mason jar planters. They are JUST adorable! Your porch looks so summery (finally, it's summer!), and inviting. :DYou've given me some inspiration for mine. My wreath, my first lame attempt at a burlap one (poofy style on a frame) is sadly looking a little “sketchy.” My porch is sheltered, but even so the burlap is now discoloured (not a year old) and it STINKS. I haven't had any brilliant ideas to replace said burlap wreath…now I want to, after seeing your post! 😀
