Witch Door

I had a lot of fun decorating my front porch for Halloween. 

I was inspired by a photo that I saw years ago.

I wanted to put my own take on the fun idea

 of witch legs in an urn.

 I gathered my supplies: striped nylons, stuffing, 

pipe from the plumbing department, 

and some thrifted boots. 

I wrapped the pipe with the stuffing and then stuck them into the nylons. 

Once I secured the legs into the urn,  

I plopped in a huge mum and 

topped it with a witch hat held up by a stick. 

It looked real enough to scare my scaredy cat.

Layering on Spring

My front porch spring decorations consist of many layers.The wreath on the door is actually two wreaths layered on top of one another then hung onto a scrap of beadboard. There is even a small nest snuggled inside.The pot of faux flowers (it's still too cold for the real thing) is layered onto a silver tray laid a top a cute thrifted metal chair.The layers continue with a faux bush in an urn, complete with another little nest at the roots.The bush stands behind the egg tree (faux of course!) that has been plopped into a pretty distressed white urn.Then the porch is finished with spring green lanterns that have nests with eggs layered inside.

That's how I
layer in a little Spring time!
