Lanterns on the Porch

Hello!  I am excited to show you my fantastic Lanterns that I've decorated and placed on the Front Porch for Christmas.  

 I found them at Nell Hills in Briarcliff . It's one of my favorite places to go for accessories and inspiration.  I just fall in love with everything she has and have such a hard time only buying one or two things.  I spotted these Lanterns and at the affordable price of around $59.00 I had to have TWO!!!  I am sure that you will be seeing them quite a bit in all kinds of displays and vignettes.  Matter of fact, I was so thrilled when I got them that I used one on my Thanksgiving table...  Take a look:

Here is a view of the entire Front Porch

  I kept it simple this year and let the Lanterns take center stage.  I placed the Lanterns in my urns that I refinished last year from a light gray to a bronzy color.   I purchased the fresh wreaths on the doors at Costco for about $15.00 a piece and added ribbon bows to them.  Easy Peezy!!!  

I splurged on the ribbon at Nell Hills.  I couldn't resist the adorable little birds on the burlap ribbon.  I always get mad at myself when I really want something and I pass it up because I think maybe I don't really need it!  I knew I wanted this ribbon so I convinced myself not to leave the store without it.  The red window pane ribbon is from Michaels.  I love their new rewards and coupon system.  I can get some really good deals when I pay attention to the emails.

I surrounded the Lanterns with a greenery swag from Costco that I cut apart.  I tucked other greenery in that I had left over from my floral arrangements.  Waste Not... Some pinecones and some pepper berries made it POP.

  Let's look inside the Lanterns.

A Christmas greenery pick, A sweet little bird's nest, and  A battery operated candle all nestled inside.  Delightful!

Thanks for coming to my Front Porch!!!  Come on inside in the next post.  It will be after Christmas as I try to fill in the empty spaces where Christmas used to be...

Merry Christmas Everyone !!!  Have a Joyous Celebration and enjoy your Holiday with family and friends!!!

 Beaux R'eves  Sweet Dreams!!!
