...a basket full of posies!

...welcome!

I wanted a little wreath change for my courtyard

but I wasn't quite ready to give up on summer just yet

so off to Michael's I went

in search of something lovely!!

cart at the ready, I hunted up and down the isles

I saw ALOT of fall wreaths...

nope

....hhmmmm

maybe an all ivy one ~

yah no!

then

I rounded the corner

and my little eye spied these...

they looked like seaside flowers to me,

very muted beachy colors

yes!!

I like that...

I like my spaces to be pretty

no matter how small a function they serve

~ are you that way?

sometimes, when my hands are full

I need somewhere to rest my purse and packages to open the front door...

this little bench serves me well ~

and it's surprisingly very comfortable!

everything I needed was all 50% off

~

I like that too!!

my favorite is the wide burlap ribbon

...it just called to me.

this is my front gate door...

I found this great wicker basket thrifting acouple of weeks ago,

it's seen better days

but I bought it anyways ~

it's by Cynthia Rawlings and it has soft leather straps,

I love the color ~ a soft buttercream

it was perfect for my hydrangea's!

I also found this sweet little face

it called to me too

but I never found a place for her

...until now!!

she whispers "welcome dear ones"

everytime you enter...

and I adore that!!

...here's to a lovely basket full of posies for YOUR front entrance!!
