Vintage Porch Style

Happy weekend! 

 I have been working decorating the porch for fall while the weather is warm. 
I am joining one of my favorite bloggers Debra from Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday for a Vintage Porch Party all weekend long. 





This bench is one of my favorites, it is an old horse and buggy seat.


There has to be a little SPOOKY!



I love this cream colored burlap.
  I think it is time to make table runner, WITH RUFFLES!







I was able to get my new sewing machine.
It is still in the box, I was waiting to get the ruffler foot before I started my sewing projects.
  I am so excited to start working on some new SLIPCOVERS too.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  1. As you know, burlap is not really my thing but I gotta say that cream burlap is great. I have never seen that colour before and I really like it.

    The buggy seat...well that just brings me back to Little House nostalgia.

    It looks wonderful and enjoy that new sewing machine.
    I can't wait to pull mine out!

  5. The porch turned out great! I am working on mine this weekend. Wish I had some great items like yours.
    Love the white pumpkins. Here in south Louisiana we have to use fake pumpkins because with the heat and humiditiy I have had them rot. Not fun to clean up.
    Have a great weekend,
    Missy

  8. Hi Alaina,
    I popped over to sit on your gorgeous porch for awhile. Hope you don't mind!
    It is so lovely that I may just have to hang out all day. If I get in the way, let me know...otherwise I'm going to sit here in this darling bench all day.
    Hugs to you sweet...

  13. It looks absolutely fabulous!! You did such a great job!
    I've been dying to get out my sewing machine and start creating but something's wrong with it so I guess I have to wait a little longer until it's fixed. I can't wait to see what you create!
    Have a lovely weekend.

    Thankyou for your best wishes.
    I had a lovely time.
    We invited two girls over for Thanksgiving dinner.
    They are broke college students and don't have a good family to go home to. It gave more purpose to our dinner.

    Our kitchen just keeps moving forward and we actually got alot done this weekend.
