So far, Spring has been just lovely here! I worked on freshening up our porch/side entry a couple weeks ago, but had to wait for the local garden center to have the impatiens I needed to share pictures. They finally got them in today, so we headed over and grabbed some to fill our pots. Here is a look at the porch...
Ok, let's check out the details. This ladder came from the Lucketts fair a couple years back. I attached screw in hooks to the rungs so I could hang my sap bucket planters, which hung on the fence at our last house. I filled them with impatiens since this side of the porch doesn't stays in the shade.
Here is a closer look....
This butterfly also came from Lucketts a couple years back.
I found this wooden bucket at a thrift shop a couple weeks ago for $2.50 and painted it and added some columbines to it. The vintage egg basket I have had for a while. Right now it holds our tomato plant which is waiting to be planted, but it will hold more impatiens soon.
To the right of the door, I put the barnwood bench that used to be in our dining room. I added a feedsack pillow and a vintage bedspread pillow, both which I made. And then the latest addition was a sweet ruffled pillow that came to me from Linda from It All Started with Paint.
Linda and a bunch of bloggers started a "Pass it on" chain, and Linda had asked me if I would participate. Well, of course!!! I had to choose two bloggers to pass on gifts to, and ask that they keep the chain going. I chose....
Now, if you know these girls, you know that they have something in common.... baby bellies!!!! That's right! They are expecting! So when I worked on making Kelly's shower gift, I also made these girls mod podged vintage book page frames!
Here they are!
How cute is that turtle on his back? He makes me smile!

Happy Easter! Lovely and thoughtful gifts! I love those frames!
I really love those sap buckets! What great colors you found too. I have been looking for some vintage bedspreads so that pillow caught my eye. It's so cute! The frames are such a great idea. I will have to remember that one for future gifts.
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! I love your porch..and the keeping it real. :) I'm pinning your ladder and buckets...love that look. And also pinning your pass it on project to my pass it on pin board...when you hear of your gals passing it on please let me know, I'm trying to link and pin to all of the projects. :)
Happy Easter. I think the ladder and flower buckets are so cute. Real is best too! How come you don't have a layer of dirt on your porch like me? Oh because you live where there are trees and little wind. :) David loved your area when he went to visit with his school. The frames are so cute too. I really like that idea.
The porch looks great and I LOVE the frames! Happy Easter!
Pretty porch!!! I am in love with that ladder/planter. SO pretty! I may also be sneaking that egg basket home in my suitcase in May.
XOXO Happy Easter yo.
Happy Easter!
You are giving me great ideas....
Love the ladder! What a great display for your flowers!
Those pots on the ladder is so sweet. Happy Easter, Cassie! Enjoy the day!
What a cute idea for a baby shower, I love the vintage children's books.
Thank you for keeping it real on your porch, kids do tend to have more "stuff" and it has to find a spot. Under the bench looks like a perfect spot for the shoes and balls.

How come saying sap bucket makes me giggle? Sounds like something you would call someone you didn't like. You 'ol sap bucket. Or maybe someone who cries easy? You wet little sap bucket.
