Here’s the wall pocket I found yardsaling ($3) a couple weeks ago. I decided since it’s black & the door’s black, I needed a pop of color to really bring this area alive, so I got some pretty faux red orchid stems & a really pretty yellowy lily, added a few other fillers & here it is. I love the little birdsnest. Hobby Lobby had their florals on sale this week, so I got it all for 50% off…gotta love that. I had to find a way to hang this on the metal door & found a magnet hook at Michaels that worked perfectly.
We are hosting a dessert party here at our house this Sunday night for a few neighbors (for us all to meet & get to know each other) & I wanted something pretty on the door. We’ve invited about 15 families, so we’ll see how this turns out. I think we may have a house full! I’m making a homemade New York style cheesecake with fresh strawberries & everyone is bringing their favorite desserts. I’ll let you know how it goes!

So pretty, and it looks great on your black door. The cheescake sounds yummy! Your guests will feel so welcome with your fabu front door.
That is just beautiful, Rhoda! (I love Hobby Lobby’s sales, too). That is so welcoming—I would definitely want to come to a get-together at your home.
The dessert party sounds yummy….I’ll be anxious to hear about it!
Very pretty, Rhoda! Dessert’s the best part of meal anyway (in my opinion)! Sounds like fun.

Yum! Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts! What a lovely thing to do for your neighbors.
The wall pocket is a great find!, and with arrangement, it looks perfect on your door.

Cheesecake! New York style! Hubby just treated me to a cheesecake for my birthday when we were in NYC this past weekend. I LOVE cheesecake! Sounds like you’re going to have a wonderful party – and I adore that wall pocket you’ve put together!
Thanks so much, I can always count on your for some “pretty” and great ideas to spruce up.

Your wall pocket is beautiful! The colors really pop on the front door! Can’t wait to hear about the dessert party.
Beautiful welcome for your front door. I like the colors against the black. I thought the magnet idea was brilliant! I’m sure your party will be a hit this weekend. The neighbors are in for a treat
I love your door pocket. And I love the fact that you are having a house full of people eating DESSERT! What a way to fill a house.

Hi Ronda,
