Although we are currently in the season of Lent, I felt compelled to contribute a door decoration in honor of St. Patrick. With Mardi Gras, birthday, and Valentine's Day coming one after another, I didn't do any Valentine's decorating. It was time to do something!
I started with a 'door pocket' kind of affair that I used last spring.
White and green were the colors with which I worked:
White hydrangeas from HL (on the stem sale day, of course);
A great and airy piece of greenery; I just love how it's so tall and delicate;
eucalyptus stems;
an ivy garland;
and finished off with a burlap bow.
And here's what it looks like on my front door:
There are an AWFUL lot of shades of green, but I like how they seem to go together. All this stuff (except for the door pocket) was half price at HL! I would have loved to have added more hydrangeas, but have you noticed their regular prices lately??? Things have gone waaaay up!

This will probably be the 'du jour' door decoration until summer, maybe or maybe not with some additions!
It's a St. Patrick's Door, y'all!

Hi Nancy! Oh, My! You've totally outdone yourself. This is just gorgeous! I love the little container and the way you've arranged the flowers and of course the bow! Now I have two little metal baskets that need some decorating for my front doors. You've given me great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie and I hope you're doing well,

Shelia! How SWEET!!!! Thank you so much! Doing well here; just haven't had much to post lately--spring cleaning interfering!

Nancy- That turned out beautifully! I really love all the white and green. Hydrangeas have been overpriced here for the last couple of years- UGH- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana. I don't decorate a lot with green, but I NEEDED something springy and St. Pat provided the vehicle! Must remember to take care with the hydrangeas; can't afford 'em anymore!!!

The colors loo great against the door. Is it black or Charleston green? I am beginning to think these stores read our blogs to see what we are interested in and jack up the prices :>)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you blogging again!
Donna: thanks. The door is actually a dark brown, supposed to make it look like it's stained--a long a arduous story! I think you might be right about the stores; can't even afford to shop at HL on the 50% day!

Nancy, I have heard that all greens go together. YOur door pocket looks festive and ready for the wearin'o the green!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Yvonne; I'll have to remember that about greens! By the way: you complimented me a couple of weeks ago about my header and I don't believe I thanked you. YOURS is the queen of headers, so I am highly flattered!
DeleteThanks for visiting!

Thank you, Sarah! We are gone during the summer, but I'll probably add some stuff to it before we leave!

Hi Nancy I'm visiting form Master Monday. I think your door pocket is lovely. You said you wanted to add more Hydrangea but I would not. It is light wispy and artsy. I love as is. Have a Wonderful week. God Bless, Wanda
ReplyDeleteWANDA!!!!! Never has the word 'artsy' been used in reference to anything I've done. You, my dear, have made my day!!!!! Thank you!

That is a beautiful arrangement you put together! I love the soft colors and the variety of materials you used. I agree it could be used throughout the summer!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly. I'm so flattered that you stopped by and grateful for your comment!

The arrangement really pops on the dark wood door. I think it looks lovely. Elegant and simple.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
Thanks, Patti! Hoping to get it up on your site this week! Thank you so much for your comments!

Your pocket bouquet turned out really nice. I must say I like these floating shamrocks, and every one a 4 leaf clover!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! From Blogamation; aren't they cute? Thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment; I so appreciate it!

Nancy, I need door pocket now. LOL Love the flowers display in yours. Such a great idea and a different look other than a wreath. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin this week:)
ReplyDeleteDawn, it's truly so much easier than a wreath. I found this one on e-Bay. I don't see them so much in the stores. I so appreciate you coming by!
Delete~N
Oh my goodness, you pulled that together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacey! It's a 'foundation' for possibly more summery flowers! Thank you for your comment!
Delete~N
That color scheme against the black door is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHI Nancy - came by trying to find a photo of your house lol - ( you said it looked like the farmhouse I was interested in )
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find it but fell in love with the gorgeous arrangement you made - and so I'm staying - your newest follower!
P.S. I think some of the petals are falling all over your screen LOL
Much love,
