Finally I got a porch swing, well, a small one, and you can´t even sit on it but it´s cute and that´s what counts. I ordered a kids swing from the internet, painted the seat turquoise and replaced the plastic cord with a beautiful (but not so safe) hemp rope. Since I can not swing with it anyway, I added some roses and a cheesecake. But the cheesecake won´t last long on it, I promise.
Finally, the weather is like spring, so the front porch can also be decorated ‚accordingly‘. For the next couple of months I decided to use a curtain of tassles on our front porch that I have torn from all sorts of fabric. Took quiet some time but it was worth it. For the vintage look, I dyed them in black tea. I did the same with the doily bunting.
Yes, I know, I haven´t posted anything in a week or so. Reason for that is: I am working on various ’soon need to be finished‘ ideas that are circling around my mind: I need to get them done and off my table. Speaking of my table, here’s what it looks like today. Maybe with that you can a little relate to, what´s going on in my head.
At some point I had to replace the „Easter“ decoration with something new. So here it is. All themed around traditional English „Afternoon Tea“ with lot´s of vintage china, roses and lace. I just love all of the romantic details. The colour palette is with soft pastels and all of the sweet little details leave me once again planning another fabulous tea party soon. The only thing missing are the cakes so I better start baking.
After so many nice reaction on the Crochet Flower Garland with over 2500 pic views on Flickr, I felt encouraged by you and by the upcoming warm spring weather (really now, I promise) to continue the „series“. So here´s the latest, my „Sweet Spring Crochet Flower Wreath“ I am very proud of. If you look closely enough you even see some cute little animals living there. I count the happy mushroom that my hubby’s sister brought to life as an animal.
