A Sweet Front Porch Party

Hello Blog Friends!
I am so excited to share my sweet little front porch with you! Thank you to Rhondi at www.rhondisrosecoloredglasses.blogspot.com for giving me this opportunity! I knew I wanted to be a part of the porch party when I got the news that there was going to be one, but I also knew my front porch looked terrible and needed some sprucing up! After church this morning, James had a nap with his littlest, Miss Lucie, because they were both tired. That was the perfect opportunity for Miss Maggie and I to get busy decorating the front porch for a sweet party for two!

We put a white tablecloth on the table, and then a lovely rosy topper. We added some cushions and pillows to the chairs. Then we set the table with plates, utensils, and long-stemmed pink goblets. We added some flowers and a candle for a sweet touch.


Miss Maggie is the sweetest little girl with naturally curly hair. Sometimes when I look at her I think I am looking at a china doll. She was such a good helper in getting our porch party ready and she had so much fun. The best part for her came when we were finished and she got to enjoy everything!



We made sugar cookies with pink icing, and some sweet pink lemonade. We even added a candy lemon wedge for garnish and found some pink lemonade taffy for our party! So sweet!




We added some decoration to the ledge like the picnic basket that I decorated by painting it white (of course) and adding some lovely roses on top. I lined the inside with shabby rose fabric and it is so beautiful now.
I wish you were really here to sit on the front porch and share in our sweets! We had such a fun time putting it together and then enjoying our efforts. Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful week and I hope you have time to sit on your own porch with a glass of lemonade and count your blessings!
Many Blessings To You!
Love Tammy

  1. Lovely!!! Pink lemonade, tea, even a glass of ice water would be a joy in such a setting.

    You and your little helper did a great job.

    Have a lovely day,

  10. Just saw your sweet post and it is sooo cute. Looks like you and Maggie had a great time together having a little teaparty. You should decorate your porch like that permanently. LOL

  15. You have a very beautiful home. I like how you did your bathroom. Did you take the tile down or put the wainscoating over it?
