I think I am finally happy with my fall porch this year. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that the pumpkin seeds I planted, weren’t the pumpkins that grew! The packages said Baby Boo, and Porcelain Doll ….what I ended up with were Patty Pan squash (still white like Baby Boos, but squash!) and Jarrahdale pumpkins (not pink like Porcelain Doll pumpkins, but green!)….not a happy camper. I was so looking forward to covering my porch with them. Oh well, there are way worse things than the wrong colour pumpkins! On to plan B.
I started with putting a pink quilt on the daybed. Quilts always invoke a sense of cozy. I piled all the squash in one of my painted wash tubs. It looks like there are tons of squash, which there is, but they are laying on pine cones, to make it look full.
my trusty old vintage wicker chair 
I love my copper vintage dust pan!
The old vintage wicker chair came out of the barn, to take it’s place by the door. My straw broom came from the Dollar Store…and the vintage dust pan was given to me by my friend’s mom. I was telling her that I was on the hunt for one, and she was sure her mom had one in her basement! Two days later, it was gifted to me! I think the copper colour is wonderful!!!
I left my two vintage chairs on the porch, but added a throw. (I am always purchasing knitted throws from thrift stores to add to the porch.)
My porch is a wrap around, and on the North side it doesn’t get a whole lot of sun. I don’t put any mums on that side except on my bistro set at the end of the porch, since it gets some sunlight through the pergola.
my candle from Cottage Candle Company is a must on my table!
My porch swing has a quilt made by my late mother in law….and the textured pillow covers are from thrift stores. On the farmhouse table, I either have flowers from the garden or an ivy. And I always have my candle from Cottage Candle Company.
My little wagon (my dad found it on the roadside a few years ago) is the perfect spot to pile little pumpkins, or squash haha.
My porch is one of my favourite places to decorate! It’s something what some pumpkins and mums spread around with do!..it just says FALL! (a little side note, all the pumpkins besides the green ones and the white squash, I purchased. Next year I will try again to grow the variety I wanted haha) Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed my fall porch tour! Time to get cozy! Happy decorating!
Wow!!! so cozy and inviting!!! You have an amazing eye to put things together, Always thrilled and excited to see what you will create next!!! by the way I like the white squash. they add a unique frilly touch. xoxoxoxox

Your Fall Porch Tour is just “Stunning” …. Loving the Pink accents…
Thanks so much Dorothy!!! Come for a tea! 💗
Looks great Tracey!
Thank you Marg! 😘
Your fall porch is so pretty and inviting. All it’s missing is your three cute kitties, didn’t see even one😻. I love shopping thrift stores for porch decor, nothing is too pricey or precious in case accidents happen!
Awe thank you Kathleen! I appreciate your sweet comment! And I know!!! Every pic I took, the kitties were sleeping elsewhere!!!! And yay for thrift stores!!!!
Well you truly have a talent my friend I so enjoy these posts 💖
Thank you Julie 😘 appreciate you my friend
I have struggled with pumpkins the past two years! Squash bugs got the best of all my vining plants! In years past I could effortlessly grow more pumpkins than I knew what to do with! On with the motto “next year!” Your porch is just perfect! I love green!
Thank you Jenn! I found lots of squash bugs on mine when we went to cut them!!! Hopefully we can burn the vines and not have a problem next year! At least a farmer around here grew pink pumpkins I could purchase haha!
This is magical. Sorry your pumpkins didn’t work out. You must have been so upset and I don’t blame you.
I spotted hydrangeas which are my fall staple. Love every detail.
Have a great weekend
Cindy
Oh thank you Cindy!!! I appreciate your kind words my friend xo
Love spending a little more time on your porch! One picture (albeit a stunning one) just isn’t enough! I think the pumpkin mistake was in your favor!
Oh Ann, you are a gem! Thank you!! xo
