Front Porch Christmas Decorations

A deep freeze is headed our way so I started to decorate my front porch yesterday.             
 I started with a plain wreath and added trimmings from my gardens.  I wired on pine cones and added holly and fir.

 Teddy helped.

 I added some silk poinsettias, a few red balls and some red berries.

 I use fake green garlands that I buy at thrift stores for next to nothing.  I wire them together to give them bulk.

 Then I just start adding adornments.  At first it looks sort of weird. I never know where I am going with this until I actually start doing it.

 But slowly it comes together. I added a cardinal and more flowers to the wreath.

 A few more touches and it will be finished.  And another chore will be checked off my list.

You mean you added holly and "fur" :) that was a little joke for Teddy. It all looks so elegant! From far away your door knocker which is gorgeous almost seems like it could take on the face of Marley! (Scrooge's partner)

Beautiful!

Everything must be tied down here today, the storm Sven has aarived and I can hear it's bad. Even the branches on my apple tree moves and that's rare even in bad storms :-)

Have a great day!
Christer.

I looks quite elegant in keeping with that entryway.I actually envy you the storm, it will add even more beauty to your decor with a bit of windswept snow on the porch.

The front door really sets the mood for the rest of the house. This looks very welcoming and warm. (Teddy helps with the warm part)
