our front porch and a summer wreath ♥

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
