A few weeks ago, I purchased some vintage ice skates.
(They happened to be my size. But they wouldn't be for skating.)
That same weekend, my mother in law gave me a sled that belonged to the mister's grandparents. A sled he'd spent plenty of time on back in the day.
(But it would no longer be for sledding.)
I had plans for these two things. Front porch plans.........
After a trip to a local nursery for the berry bush, a stop at Ace Hardware for the rosemary, and some fun finds at Dollar General for the ribbon and bells, I was able to get my craftiness on.
I won't tell you how long it took me to position the skates and tie the perfect bow.
And it's a good thing I hoard.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have two matching crocks to put the plants in.
Looks fab!!! And YES, hoarding comes in handy!! ;)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!!!!! Yes, sometimes it's GOOD to hoard! ;)
DeleteToo cute! I just want to grab a plaid blanket and sit near it to ogle its cuteness!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love that you used vintage skates as decor! I've been looking for some greenery to decorate with but I'm afraid it'll die in the cold. The berry bush is a great idea!

Well, the rosemary HAS died, just a week on the porch! So either I need to find an evergreen or something FAKE!
DeleteThis is so pretty!! I love that you used the skates in the decor.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!
DeleteThat turned out absolutely darling! I adore how you put everything together!

ReplyDeleteTHANKS!!!!!
DeleteWhat an incredibly sweet display. Your vintage finds make for such a beautiful Christmas display. Love it.
ReplyDeletethat bush is awesome, i thought it was fake. I've been wanting a rosemary tree- maybe the porch decor is a valid reason to buy one
ReplyDeleteWell, the rosemary, I THINK, has died already. I have had it one whole week. And it's brown.
DeleteMakes for a lovely front porch décor for sure. Sprinkle alittle snow around and it will look even more like winter
ReplyDeleteGet out...that looks amazing! I am in awe - I just switched out my summer wreath for my fall one a few weeks ago. I am clearly a bit behind in the porch decorating arena! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I knew the sled and skates would look amazing on your front porch!
ReplyDeleteThis is ADORABLE!!! I want some vintage skates and a sled. Come to my house and make my porch look like this. You have serious skills!!
