With a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning my thoughts are wandering and now I am wondering if an old toboggan might look nice in front of my house...
Mary Ellen's display in the window of The Wrentham Country Store
I wish I had a big ol' porch along the front of my house and be able to dress it up like this!
I finally downloaded Picasa to my computer and have been playing around a bit with my photos (oh no, not another distraction!).
I would love any tips you have to share!
Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!
Joining Debra at Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday.
Thanks for hosting Debra!

Hi Sandi! Oh that porch looks delightful... **sigh** :) My wish is for it to snow over here! A White Christmas would have been nice...but of course SoCali weather does not allow for that!!! lol Wishing you a most wonderful weekend!
Cheers,
Jessie

Thanks girl...you just gave me a great idea for the window at W&T's!

this may sound weird, but i'm jealous! i want a little snow!! we are having spring-like weather here. actually i'm not complaining about the temperature at all, but a little snow sometime this winter would be nice!!
What a great display, I say yes to the sled idea no matter how big your porch is!! thanks for linking up the fun to the party! xoxo
Tell Mary Ellen I'll be right over for some hot cocoa! ;) What an amazing storefront/window/porch!

Happy day! Oh, yes...the porch is devine. I've been hunting for a pair of vintage skis or snowshoes for my porch, too. I think it looks so inviting, friend. Much love, Lisa
Don't feel bad...I don't have a BIG front porch, but I do have a BIG screen porch in the back:) Hope you have a wonderul weekend.
Blessings,
Linda
Ohhh, it all looks so cozy and inviting...
as far as Picassa, i use it to edit my photos, it's a fairly simple program, and seems ok... i am curious about photoshop, but imagine it would be so complicated, i'd die of old age before i learned how to actually use it!

It was 51 degrees here today! FREEKY DEEKY!
Thank you so much for supporting my new adventure!

I have used picasa before and I really like how you can lighten up pictures and make them brighter. I don't use a flash when I take my pictures, so everything depends on natural light! Your photos look beautiful.
Oh the things you can do with a porch. That is a very inviting winter display. I could curl up there right about now and go to sleep. I'm feeling so tired today. Hope you are having a good one. Tammy
That's a cute idea but I'd be worried someone would steal it. I've heard of a couple of bloggers who've had vintage bicycles stolen off their porches:(
I tried Picasa when I first started blogging and it confused the heck out of me so now I use Picnik, I just find it easier to navigate.
Send me some snow please!!!!!!!!!!
that's exactly what I did. I put an old wooden sled on the front porch dressed up with some fresh greens and hung some old ice skates on it. I took down my wreath but put it right back up because everything looked so bare. :)
I love a pretty porch too Sandi. I wish I would take more time in the Winter to make mine look pretty, but usually we have feet and feet of snow by now and I only have a pergola over it, so I don't bother.
You made me laugh in your last post with your little note to Jim at the end ;) I don't have that book, but it looks beautiful. I LOVE your cozy white slippers!
hugs from here...
Just a note to say, I was just thinking about you a little while before your comment came in and I swear I could hear the Twilight Zone theme song playing when I saw my e-mail in box:)
your porch looks lovely! i just downloaded picasa and it looks interesting--now to learn it:)
a porch...ah I remember those..we don't do porches here..and it's a damn shame too! Give me a good old porch any day with or without a toboggan. <3
oh..and send snow..
xx

ooh you make me envious...wishing there was a dusting of snow here to make it feel like winter! 78 degrees instead!
Happy New Year,
Rae
I'd love a little winter setting like that on our porch too. I should get off my lazy butt and do something with my ice skates and sled.
This picture has some great ideas, Sandi!
Have a nice week.
xxxooo
I wish I had a big porch too, especially a wrap-around...but I'd settle for anything other than the stoop that I have. My sister puts a tobogan out each winter. I think they're so charming. I say go for it. Stopping by to wish you a Happy New Year, Sandi!
Hello sweet friend!
I would love it if you stopped by today for the impossiblity challenge! Your "impossiblity" could even be top 5 tips about Picasa!
Oh - I love toboggans!!! My Mom doesn't have a big front porch so she ties hers to her front gate! It's ADORABLE!!!
They are hard to find in Texas though... I think it was 71 here on Friday. LOL!!! Winter, what?!
LOVE your inspiration!!!

I never seem to have enough energy to do my entry way winter decor as I would like - it may be because I hate the cold, so I tend to stay inside. Yours looks lovely, Sandi!
