Springtime in Texas





After Canton weekend, Deidra and I usually take about a week to "recoop" and just get some stuff done around our own "spaces"!!! Soooo this week I decided to finish giving my front porch a "spring touch"!!! I found these two old vintage lawn chairs last summer at a garage sale and just HAD to keep them!! They also have a sweet love seat that matches them!!! Since burlap is the rage right now, decided they needed to have a cushion covered in burlap to make them more "compfy"!! Like my spelling? LOL....... To protect them from the weather, I sprayed them with scotch guard!!! Thennnnn, I found this sweet polka dot fabric to cover some more pillows for my willow bench which use to be on the porch until the vintage chairs took over!! I do think I like the willow bench better just in the yard and ground cover!!! One of my favorite flowers is Red Geraniums....another reason that I loved the polka dot fabric as I thought they would compliment each other!!! Thats all for now, hope all of you are enjoying your "Spring time"!!!

    You've inspired me to get cracking on my own porch. Wish this pollen would stop so I can get it power washed.
    Thanks for the kick in the pants.
