A little Easter Decorating On The Front Porch

Hello and Happy Weekend Everyone. It was a gorgeous Spring day in Olympia today! I really enjoyed spending some time outside, decorating the front porch a little, before Easter has come and gone....

I will keep it short and sweet today, my Mom surprised me for my 40th Birthday with a visit from Germany, so we have Company and I am a lucky girl!!!

I always prefer to decorate with natural things


like this old galvanized wash tub, it makes a perfect Easter nest

and this old vintage wooden berry crate


and an old rusty bucket with flowers...perfect
I stole some hay from our Bunny for the Easter nest...lol

Thanks so much for stopping by !!!!

    Your porch is soooo sweet. I love the single egg you have dangling from your wreath. I like your work boot. Could you take a close up picture? What do you have planted in it? I couldn't really tell. Thank you.
