Parrot Head Wreath And Junk Pots Of Geraniums Summer Porch

My porch decorations came together easily. I used what I had on hand except for the seasonal flowers.

How pretty are those flowers. I forget the name but I know it starts with an L. I know that’s not much help but I threw the plant tag away. You guys will know what they are. One thing I know is the rabbits love them. I had a few pots last year and when we went on vacation I set the pots out in the yard so the rain could water them while we were gone. The rabbits ate the flowers and stems down to the dirt. I won’t do that again.

How To Make A Jimmy Buffett Inspired Wreath

I wasn’t sure what kind of wreath I was going to make and I first started out with the wood wreath I bought at Target last Fall. I planned to remove the wood pumpkins I hot glued to the wood and add seashells. Then I decided that would not be very colorful. Looking around the shop I spotted the Parrot Party license plate from Margaretville. Not sure how long I’ve had it or who bought it. It could have been a present from my sister or I could have bought it on vacation at some point.

The pots of Summer flowers came from Walmart on sale. They looked rough when I bought them but a couple of days of sunshine and a little water brought them back to life.

You guys might remember the little black stool I bought at my fav junk shop a few weeks ago. It’s the cutest and the rusty star chair is another of my best junk finds.
