A Welcome Wall Pocket

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!

    What a clever and beautiful welcome arrangement! I love your idea, ingenuity, and use of a garage sale find. Could there be anything more rewarding? Good going!

    Your blog is always such a thrill. Thanks for being a blessing… both here and on my blog!

    Have a great weekend,
    Brin

    Such a pretty arrangement for your front door, Rhoda! Very welcoming too! Your guests are just going to love everything about you and your home, from the minute they walk through your front door – and cheesecake too? Oh, I am so JEALOUS of your lucky neighbors! They are in for such a treat!..And speaking of treats.. hop on over to Amy’s, she’s got a “surprise” for you! 😉

    Hi Ronda,
    You emailed me today about your banner at my work addy. I tried something similar to what you did. Did not turn out quite the same, but am happy with the results. Thanks a million. Please stop by.
