Let's take a walk outside. Brrr, it is cold, yet if we bundle up, we will be just fine. My garden has long been put to bed for the winter, so sorry no flowers today (in about five months.) So instead, I would love to show you my antique french daybed.
It sits on my porch, dressed with a grapevine wreath and greenery.
I walked out to the woods to cut several kinds of greenery and berries for all my winter decor.
I stuffed all my garden urns with greenery and berries as well.
Don't you just love chippy wicker?
An old ladder used to hang homemade garland is propped against a porch post. I love the aqua color against the greenery. I keep all of the garlands and greenery up all winter long to add interest with the snow. I will show you my garland soon.
Let's head back inside where it's much warmer! Thank-you for taking the time to visit with me outside on this chilly morning.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week!

ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to meet you!
Thank you for stopping by 34th street!
I am not from Boise. We live in Tacoma, Washington. My son, Jay is a sports reporter for KTVB in Boise. He moved to Boise the first of July. He came home for Christmas after the BSU bowl game. I do plan to share about my future ventures to Boise, as I help him decorate his new digs this coming Spring!
Your blog is wonderful ~ beautiful! I am so happy that you found me so I could find you!
I am looking forward to popping in with my morning coffee!
Happy New Year!
