Vignette's on the Porch

I created a couple of fun vignette's on the front porch this morning.    

 I scattered a few touches of  red,  white and blue around the porch  since Memorial Day is just a couple of weeks away.

The first vignette was created by using a variety of fun and unusual items....a rusty Dr's scale is the centerpiece of this vignette

H and I had drove to Plainview Texas yesterday to visit some of the antique shops that we like.    I found a couple of things and H found an old crusty rusty Doctors scale for $26   (and it still works)    He had tried to buy one at the auction last summer but it went for over $100....a little rich for his blood.      Anyway ......H saw a scale and I saw a planter for the front porch....lol!

Here's how it looks without all the plants on it.

I have a large fern planted in a rusty metal bucket.......a squirrel playing on a green wicker stool.....several colorful baskets of flowers......

a pot of blue flowers and more squirrels......

 Welcome to Our Home angle is hung on a rusty easel......

And a sandwich sign made from vintage foot boards completes the vignette.  

 I don't know if my door wreath is part of this vignette or the one next to the door.....but it all goes together to make one big vignette!

All I did to the front door wreath was add a couple of flags to it.......

The next vignette I created is on the piece  next to the front door.     It's a piece that H made me by marrying  a vintage vanity,  a mirror frame,  and a few odds and ends.....I guess you could call it a buffet?

My white ceramic cats found a home on the "buffet"

I took this mirror down from a wall in the master bedroom months ago,   and it has been propped up against the wall in one of the guest bedrooms.       I decided it might be just the piece I needed on this small wall on the front porch.   Glad to have it hung and out of the way....lol! 

I made this shabby flag last year ....here is the link to that post if you want to see more.....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2016/06/shabby-chic-flag-for-4th-of-july.html

If anyone needs some large ferns at a good price ......Lowe's had these gorgeous ferns for $12 yesterday.      I have found that Boston ferns give my garden the biggest bang for the buck
