Penny's Vintage Home: Take me Out to the Ball Game Summer Porch

I'm continuing with my Watermelon / Sunflower theme on the front porch but I've added a twist to it now......Take me out to the Ball Game. I got the bid on a box of vintage baseball gloves at the auction last Saturday....my friends there thought I was crazy to even bid on them. Maybe they're right....but I already had ideas on how to blend them in with the existing summer decor on the porch. What's more summery than Baseball?

I began decorating my Take me out to the Ball Game Summer porch by adding sunflower pillows to the wicker sofa and rocking chairs. I have a Bumble Bee blanket on the sofa because it gets coolish in the evening here in Eastern New Mexico.

Then, I created my centerpiece for the coffee table. Isn't the Take me out to the Ball Game pig print on the potato masher the sweetest thing? I found a watermelon base ball print on Pinterest....printed it out....and framed it in a metal plate by using stick on metal tape to attach it to the plate.

There were 8 gloves in my box and I used one of them in my coffee table tray centerpiece.

Next, I wanted to create some art work to set on the end tables next to the sofa

I couldn't get a good picture of my art work on the end tables so I temporarily moved them to the sofa so you guys can see them better

I had a white enamel picture stand that had a place at the bottom to cradle the glove in. I slipped a paper watermelon print into my glove. You may have noticed that this is a different watermelon baseball print than the one I showed you in the centerpiece.

I thought you might like to see all the elements in my art work individually.

I often get questions about my big assortment of pillow covers. Covers are so easy to store that I don't have to worry too much about problems with storing all of them
