I am beginning the Fall season..coming soon..with a pretty arrangement for my front door by Kristin's Creations. It matches our new house trim and you KNOW how that is!
Not a single flea bite..perfection. Bordallo is such a lovely line.
Oh, it will change...it always does, but it's a beginning.
...and also at the same sale..this big pretty flower pot. Doesn't everyone need a big blue and white flower pot? Indeed they do!
...so home it came.
These little concrete bunnies...ohhh so sweet. Got a weakness for cottage bunnies! They were tossed in for free... (it pays to be charming.. :)
And lastly (by now I was hungry for breakfast out!) this very heavy garden stone.
Now..
here is the surprise. When we got home and unloaded the trunk of the car..we piled everything gently on the top of the washer to be washed before bringing it into the house etc. The garage door closed...and in the darkened garage I was started to see the butterfly glowing a beautiful translucent pale green... For two dollars (and I thought that rather steep but wanted it) I think I got a wonderful deal!
Right now is graces my front porch where is glows softly at the edge of the ferns. Soooo pretty..
My love to all of you,
Mona
Mona what is going on in your brain. Is it a butterfly garden coming on???
ReplyDeleteMay be. I love the blue and white planter and the plates.
Hugs
I have to say I love the fall colors coming and the soft yellows.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs, and prayers. sandie

ReplyDeleteYou and I have such similar tastes! I want that front door arrangement, the plates, the blue and white, love everything!
Great deals, great eye, love your mantel too!

Hi Mona,
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us are counting the days for fall to arrive. I am beginning to get itchy for bringing out my decorations. I have packed my summer things away and the house looks so stark.
Have you noticed the days getting shorter? Oh, fall - please hurry up.
Hugs ♥
I would simply love going shopping with you. You find the neatest things. All are lovely and looking fine on your mantel, and garden. ONLY YOU MONA, would need another flower pot. ha,ha
ReplyDeleteGreat buys! I love the plates and pot but OMG, that rock with the glowing butterfly... LOVE IT! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYou did find some fabulous treasures. I love them all. The plates are stunning and they look fabulous on your fireplace mantel. Sooooooooo pretty. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLovely finds . . . I like fall too. You have given me the push to do my bit of front of the house color. Pictures soon!
ReplyDeleteI am such a Fall kinda girl and am itchin' to get started. But...am holding off just a few more weeks, maybe when school starts to really go at it. I love the buttery yellow dishes you picked up and added to your mantel. And the door arrangement...love me some birds and that is perfect! Thanks for sharing and giving some cute ideas along the way!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for fall in my head, but I haven't started decorating yet...you have given me some ideas for my fireplace mantels..I'm always looking for something to dress them up! Great finds. I bet that stone only glowed when it found it was going to be at your home! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Mona, The arrangement looks so pretty on your door! It really stands out against the white.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to start decorating for fall too! It's been a long hot summer and I can't wait for cooler temps.
Love your new finds...how neat that the butterfly glowed! Have a great day, Kristen
Mona...when you didn't post for a few days...I thought, "She's out to garage sales"...and I was right. What a nice group of finds. When are you building the addition to hold all your treasures?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding...Balisha
I love your door arrangement...sooo pretty. And your mantel is adorable, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is still so hot here...and will be thru Sept. so I will wait awhile to change out my door arrangement. I am like you...can't wait for fall. winter is my favorite time...looking forward to it.
xo bj
It's always a nice feeling to be the first. It looks everything is ready for fall.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Mona, you always find some of the best things...like that pretty blue and white flower pot and those cute little plates.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for cooler weather, too!
I love everything you found. What a great score! Especially the plates and concrete bunnies. I recently bought some Bordallo plates in green with chickens on them. I look forward to displaying them. Yours look great on your mantel. I can't wait to see how it evolves.
ReplyDeleteHi Mona,
ReplyDeleteOh my, those butter yellow plates just made my heart skip a beat,I love them! and I love your front door fall arrangement so much.
Me too, I am so ready for fall.When I get off the train in the morning on my way to work I can see its been getting darker, so fall is coming for sure.
Have a sweet day and sending big hugs your way, Elizabeth
Lovely purchases, Mona.
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone should have a large blue and white flower pot...especially one made in Portugal! So pretty.
