MMP Friday Shopping Event July 30th "Summer Porch"

I
can’t think of anything more inviting than a summer porch. Starting
your day with a cup of tea in a favorite antique tea cup or watching a
sunset from a vintage wicker rocker, filled with plump cushions,
inspired by days gone by.
A welcoming porch creates a friendly entryway to your home. And
with the right accessories, can become an extension of your home.
Our summer porch was always filled with pots and planters of
brightly colored geraniums. It didn’t feel like summer without these
welcoming blooms.
For entertaining guests, vintage chairs, painted in blues and
whites, no two alike, made comfortable with pretty floral pillows
propped against their backs. An ornate table, painted white and adorned
with layers of beautiful white linens. A welcoming site for all that
come to visit.
For cozy evenings, cut glass cups, glow with the soft flicker of a
candle within. An old mason jar, one saved from grandmother’s canning
cellar, is filled with fresh cut daisies. A quilting project, tucked
into a favorite basket, ready to be worked on at a moments notice.
As you relax and sip your iced tea, your eyes follow the simple,
uncluttered decor of of your summer porch. The vintage lace curtains,
stirring in the warm evening breeze, the gingerbread window boxes,
filled with summer blooms, and just beyond the porch, a whimsical pink
bicycle, it’s basket filled with blooms in shades of pink. You sigh with
contentment as you welcome another summer evening.
Create your own special summer porch with the help of the boutiques at Make Mine Pink.
