Front Porch Pumpkins

I am linking with the wonderful, quirky, and delightful Debra of Common Ground for the Vintage Inspiration Friday Party.

Can you tell I am fond of her?

I am late to the party of course.

The theme is fall decorating on the front porch.

I did that a tiny bit.

I have four pumpkins.

Three real ones and the concrete one shown on the last post.

I have also put in an image of the front door of the old house with a snaggle tooth pumpkin made from tin.

I nearly forgot the mums.

 

If you have not visited Debra already please go on  over there for more front porches.

  1. I wish you would warn me when you are going to put up a post called 'Front Porch Pumpkins' - I would turn on the 'safe search' on Google then. You should see what came up on my screen!

  12. Hi -- I love that tin pumpkin on the old door. I am so intrigued about your owning the old house -- and the yellow house. So, you live in the yellow house?

    We were very lucky -- our house was built in 1832 but has always been cared for and maintained. We've put a lot into the house, but much of it was our choice (well, not the electrical work and the basement shoring-up, lol).
    thanks for visiting That Old House. I'm signing on as one of your Followers!
