Our Porch



Because we are living on a steep hill,
our porch feels like we are living in a tree house.





We love and collect birdhouses.





The cart is from Germany,
and the way I decorate it, changes with the seasons.





This little table serves just two for lunch or dinner.
I found it a long time ago at the curb while walking
with my girlfriends.
It was a kitchen table with a formica top.
My hubby cut the top down to size, turned the top over
and remounted it.
I then stenciled the edge and sealed the table.
The result is a fun little table for no money, just elbow grease!





I also love finials and beeskeps.




My favorite place to veg out!



This wonderful basket was a gift from our friend
Deanna from her shop "Gather" in Ivoryton, CT.
It was my birthday gift.
I played around with it a bit.
Instead of the wire holding the lid in place, I replaced
it with ribbon.
I also added the ribbon to the front and attached a lock
and key that my Dad had given me.
That gives it special meaning everytime I look at the basket.




This is a very special place to us!!!!!!!!!
I hope you enjoyed the tour.
God bless,
Evi

  6. How lovely Evi.
    The little goat cart is wonderful and the bird houses are a perfect thing to collect... you never know when a new birdie might move into the neighborhood.
    Enjoy your Fourth of July!
