My Porch...I know if you look close, you can see the chicken wire on the chair seat.  I need to spray paint brown so you can not see.  BUT my plant is still very small and I am hoping with some Miracle Grow it will hide the chicken wire!!!   Made the wreath after I saw one like it on Pinterest.  I want to get more of my flags out soon.   Very windy day here in Va., so I did not get a lot of furniture painting done.  But maybe tomorrow.... Blessings to all...

Before picture of a very old, dirty chair...I wanted on my front porch with a plant in the seat part.  Been trying to get to this for quite awhile...

Well, anyone who has been on a trip knows it takes forever to "play catch up"...and that is what I have been doing for several weeks.  HaHa--still not caught up!  Looking at my blog, I see I have to spend some real time moving things around and making it look nicer...

 But I have a few pictures I will post for now.  No not of trip, but a few of my favorite things...around my house....
This is a short wall in my breakfast area, looking into my kitchen.  A very good  friend of mine made the Americana stocking with flag, crow and star as a gift for me. I just love it and treasure it.  The box above it was a junk find years ago.  I cleaned up and painted brick red .  I did the x-stitch and cat on the box and added old spools.  I have old potato mashers on the shelf and another painted picture.  Today I switched things a bit and added more Americana for the summer--forgot to take new picture.  Hope you enjoy.  Will add another picture tomorrow...
