I fell in love with this locker the minute I laid eyes on it! I got it from a special friend about three weeks ago. Isn't she a beauty??? It has been in sitting in the back of the SUV since then, what with Howard's back surgery and everything else. We finally got it unloaded yesterday. ( If you want to see what the porch looked like before...here is the link http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2012/09/fall-front-porch.html) |
Howard gave it a good cleaning yesterday and scraped off the tape. I couldn't wait to decorate it!! |
I got out this cute little scare crow that belonged to my mother. He actually is not that "little", he is taller than me! |
He needed a clean shirt, so I got one of Howard's old Tommy's that he doesn't wear anymore...put a bird in his pocket and added a fall garland around his neck. |
Gave him an old pitch fork that is being held together with wire! |
I also got out this rooster that belonged to my dad...he is real, except for the comb thingy! |
You ask, Why is she showing this old stool? Well, this was my mothers "high chair" when she was a little girl in the early 1930's. It was a nice fall color and I need something to put the rooster on. |
I added a burlap bow to the wreath that was already hung on the baby springs. and put a Welcome fall sign on the lockers. |
I swept over a bunch of leaves to add some more fall to my vignette. I think that scarecrow needs some new shoes! Is that a roller skate on the left? You never know what will turn up on the porch! |
Thank you so much Donna for my new lockers, I just love them! |
Lovely vignette. I am envious of the locker - I had to leave a unit behind a couple of weeks ago at the flea market because the truck was filled. My favorite items here are your dad's rooster on your mother's stool. Family history at its best!
