a pop of color

A few weeks back, I was looking at a HGTV Magazine.

There was an article about "jazzing up" your front porch.

I waited a long time to have a porch where I could have 

rocking chairs and a swing. So, I have just been enjoying it!

But, I decided even though I loved my white chairs and swing,

a little color might be nice.

Having the shower here motivated me to get it done!

So, while shopping in JoAnn's for fabric to make some pillows,

I found these two for the rockers on the 70% off clearance aisle!

They were only $8...I could hardly make them for that...

so I snapped them up!

I always found this tin pitcher with the same design on clearance 

for $6! I looked at the usual places for the hydrangeas to go in it...

Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Wal Mart, etc with no luck.

One day, I was in Big Lots just browsing and turned to go down an aisle

and there they were... waiting for me!

The same night I bought the pillows, I did buy coordinating

fabric to make two more for the swing.

I think they turned out nice.

I also refreshed  my wreath...

and bought two ferns.

I still love my white chairs and swing, but a little color

is  good thing! :-)
