Front Porch aka Stoop

I don't have a nice large southern style porch. No siree, I have a stoop but, I make do with my stoop.

Everything I used this year I had on hand. I made a couple of changes to the swag after taking this picture.

I purchased this swag several years ago because it is pretty real looking. If I were to put live greenery out here it would not last very long because the sun beats down on this porch. I love this burlap ribbon that I just added and it is on sale now at Ballard Designs. I also added the string of brass bells that I have probably had for over thirty years.

Lanterns filled with battery operated candles are all I added to the porch.

I pull this very large lantern out every year for Christmas decorating. It has been used in several different places. This was a steal at twenty dollars a few years ago at Home Goods.

Here is a shot with the front porch lights on.

It usually just looks like this with the glow from the garland.

This very large wreath hangs on the large window. The old fashioned sign from Hobby Lobby carries on the vintage themed Christmas inside.

Sure hope y'all aren't up to your eyeballs yet with Christmas decor. I still have more to share and parties to join.
