Hello everyone.
Just a quick post to say hello. I’ve been posting with regularity over the last couple of weeks, but I feel I haven’t been actively engaged with many of you the way I would like. I normally find the time to visit your blogs and reply to your emails, but time has been limited of late. For that I’m sorry, but I’m hoping to find some time this weekend to finally catch up with all of you, so please bear with me.
Yesterday I shared a little bit of our front porch vignette. Today, I wanted to share a few more photos (this was taken and shared via Instagram and FB a while back)…
I made a planter out of two discarded wooden tile boxes. I lined it with a black garbage bag and placed potting soil inside to accommodate some mums and some pretty ornamental cabbages. I then filled all of the little spaces with mini pumpkins and gourds, along with some wheat and dried twigs in the centre for height.
So here’s some ‘keeping it real’ for you – recently, someone (jokingly) asked where the crow sale was as they appear to be in every Halloween vignette I have shared. The truth? I only own 3 of them.
But I can see how it looks like an entire flock. Interesting fact- a flock of crows is actually called a murder of crows.
I have to admit – even though I love using the whites and neutrals inside, I love the contrast of the orange pumpkins and our black doors. It feels like a very traditional fall display.
I also wanted to show you this amazing map
covered pumpkin that was sent to me by Wendy…
Wendy doesn’t have a blog (yet?), but wanted to share
with me…:) Isn’t this a great idea? Thanks for sharing Wendy!
I’m looking forward to finally being able to unwind tonight and
visit your blogs. So please, would you come back later on to link up?
Thank you so much for keeping me company.
much love,
Lucy

Hi Lucy, It is interesting that your post is the one I woke up to today, as I was just thinking, this morning, about some of the blogs I faithfully follow and comment on (not yours) that never acknowledge my readership. I really like blogs that I feel a kinship with no matter what their topic. I realize that some blogs are just too big to respond, but the blogs I am talking about are not. It encourages me to move my readership elsewhere.
That being said I love your vignette. I love how you used the different elements in your planter. As always, you are wonderful. I like that a flock of crows is called a murder of crows, because they sure decimate the berry bushes behind my house this time of year.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Laura
So pretty – love the cabbage type plants. The perfect blend of Halloween and fall! Take care, Laura
Beautiful!!! I love the little crow, thank you for sharing 🙂

Beautiful display. I especially like the tile box planter. This might be a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway. You called the cabbage ornamental – is it edible or just for show? It’s so gorgeous and your little crow is quite handsome. Love your blog!
Your front porch is beautiful, Lucy. I love all the colors and textures. You have such an amazing eye for displays. And thanks for the shout out on my pumpkin. xox
I love the ornamental kale. One of these years we are going to finally get the outside looking great and I am going to do some seasonal decorating outside too!
What a lovely vignette, Lucy!
Love those cabbages – so pretty to decorate! Sometimes I decorate the really dark purple ones in my fall planters! Congrats on being chosen as a Folk contibutor! That’s so exciting 😀
