We haven’t gotten much snow yet here in NE Ohio.  I say “yet” because I know it’s coming.  A friend of ours plows for a living and says that we get at least 102 inches every year regardless of when…we get it.  So, I’m bracing myself for the down pour here soon.  Last week, we got a light snow fall and so I sacrificed myself for you, my beloved viewers (wink, wink) and went out into the snow to get some pictures of my front porch with the fresh snow.

It’s nothing fancy…but that’s how I like it.  I cut the greens from some pine trees behind my house.  This was the first year I thought to do this…what took me so long??  We’ve only lived here 17 years!

My front door has this adorable snowman with our names written on it.  I attached it to an artificial wreath and then just stuffed some real pine branches in it to give it a more “real” look.

, Saving 4 Six

The little chair was $3 and the lantern was $2 at ReStore.  The bucket with my greens came from a flea market.

, Saving 4 Six

The decorated sled was a curbside find.  Love those freebies!!

, Saving 4 Six
From my front porch to yours…Merry Christmas.
Blessings,

    I wish I could help with the local flea markets. I don’t really go to any in this area. I frequent the one in WV where my mom and dad live. I do love my local ReStore though. They have a lot of neat housewares and tons of other stuff.

    I’m so jealous of your snow–just a beautiful dusting (at the time you took the picture anyway!) Your porch looks so pretty! Makes me want to sit and drink hot chocolate and wait for Christmas visitors!

    Awww your porch is inspiring to me. You did a great job and it’s very welcoming. I have some greenery out and lights but was thinking tonight that it just needs a bit more. I think I’ll go tweak it a bit 😉

    How beautiful Carrie! These pics look like they belong on the front of a Christmas card. 🙂 The snow coming down only enhances what is already so beautiful and I’m so glad you shared this with us at the Doors and Porches party!

    Your front porch looks so gorgeous Carrie. Of course I’m envious of your white Christmas too because I live in Australia where it is summer right now.

    I’d love it if you could link this project up with my Simply Christmas Inspiration party at

    Very nice! Your porch looks so inviting! I think I need to spruce mine up a little. Do you think a German Shepherd looks inviting? lol So far, my dog and lots of snow is about what I’ve got. Yours looks wonderful!

    I'm sure you will be doing your porch from now on, very cute. We have not gotten much snow in Michigan either, so sad. Please stop by for our Ramsign Giveaway if you get a chance. Laura

    I LOVE your porch! Can you tell me how you tied your greens together & attatched them around your door, also can you tell me the color of your door? I just discovered your blog! You are great about recycling, very crafty, love your ideas. I love NE Ohio Amish country, I live in NW Ohio, totally understand about the winters. If you can please email me jenny (dot) naus (at) yahoo (dot) com, thanks, Merry Christmas!
