On the Porch

 

 I spend so much time on my back porch and I like to change things around from time to time.  I've had an old quilt draped over the swing for years and was thinking of changing the look.


 When I was walking past bedspreads at the thrift store I saw a lovely slightly faded one and knew immediately that it was just right.

It had two shams so I used one to cover the pillow I use when I nap here ( nothing more likely to lull a person to sleep than a swing.)


And the other sham to cover this wicker chair pad.

I keep my rock collection out here ( yes, that's one more thing I collect).


Incidentally, that white table in the first pictures was a .50 purchase a while ago.  Youngest son gave it 2 coats of white paint and it has found a home on the porch.

Whatever your weekend holds I hope it's a good one.

 

Thanks for visiting,  G.M.

  6. That is a great idea and looks like a very cozy spot to relax in. Dennis is driviing back to Spokane today and tomorrow. Right now he's somewhere in Montana.
    You have lots of treasures including the table. I hope your Saturday is going well.

  7. I would agree. It is just right and so summery looking. The colors make me think of watermelon (one of my favorite summer fruits). Your porch looks like a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the beauty of the season. You make me laugh with another of your collections. I am always attracted to pretty rocks and your collection appeals to me. I can imagine a lot of the people who sit on your porch are fascinated by it too.

  10. This is really a fine place in your lovely home! I like the new blanket, all the furnitures and decorations are friendly and show an individual taste. The white table is very good! I see a beautiful glass-window in the background - home sweet home!

  14. Your rock collection is very interesting! I see opened geodes. I found a tiny open geode among the rocks at school. I had never found an opened one before. I love your porch and the new quilt/shams are just beautiful!
