Porch and Patio Party!

Welcome to my porch for the Porch and Patio Party hosted by Barb at Grits and Glamour.

When we first bought this house the bushes had "eaten" whole sections of the porch, but I knew that it had potential. I never dreamed I could have a porch that wrapped around 3 sides of my house!

Now it is a very special place for all of us!

Just relaxing in the hammock...

And a favorite spot for parties!

We have had Christmas parties where the weather was so mild everyone hung out on our porch!

I don't have any pictures of our porch swing, but it is a favorite spot to hang out.

Here is the view from the porch swing one October night. My DH set up a romantic wine for two with seasonal decorations, of course!!!

Thanks Barb for such a wonderful idea. I love my porch and I know I will love seeing everyone else's!!! :D Jewel

    I forgot to ask, do you mind telling me where you purchased that hammock. I've been looking for one like yours with the crochet on the edge.

    What a wonderful porch! I could live on your porch. (And as big as it is, you'd probably never know I was there!) Your house is beautiful, and your porch just makes it so inviting. laurie

    Oh I do love your porch -- I think that they just make a home so genteel! (that must explain why I don't have one!) sigh!

    What a wonderful porch! I think that they just make a home so relax feel. Sometimes just the simplest things can make a big difference. Thanks for such good post.

Thank you so much for all your comments! I really do treasure them all. If I don't respond to all of them immediately, it is because I work full time and share a computer at home. Thanks again!!!
