Grits and Glamour
is very proud to announce a brand New Event!
A Porch and Patio Party!
Tuesday, May 15th !
* * * * * * * *
re-new-al: (noun)
the act of renewing or the state of making something
appear new again.
* * * * * * * *
If you are like me, one of the best parts of Spring is the
"renewal" or regeneration of my porches.
I spend a whole day cleaning,
replacing the "Winter" cushions with "Summer" cushions,
re-potting flower pots...and generally ridding the porches of any
signs of Winter.
So - join me in sharing your own porch, patio and
deck "re-NEW-al."
I have also provided a smaller logo for you to post on your sidebar
as a reminder for others to join in.
Here's the best part...
If you participate - you will automatically be qualified to win this:
A three-tiered planter from Plow & Hearth.(sorry, flowers not included - that's up to you!) :-)
If you place the small logo on your blog - you'll get TWO chances.
Become a new follower...you'll get THREE chances.
So....ready, set - GO!
Get out your brooms, dust off the cushions, splash a coat of
paint on that old wicker...
"It's a Porch and Patio Party!..."
...and you're invited!!!
Barb, I am so ready. I just took a good look at the front porch today and yuk! It needs help really bad. So, if I can figure something out, I will be there. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. That looks like a lot of fun. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteYippee! I can't wait. This sounds fun! Hugs, Terrie
ReplyDeleteBarb you are quickly becoming the Queen of new events here in Blogland! You are just amazing what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI'll absolutely join this one my friend! I've been working on mine as we speak.

I've already got your button on my blog! Maybe this will be my inspiration to get off my big ol bootie and fix up my porch!!

Thanks for the advance warning. My screened-in porch here in Colorado is still covered with its winter dirt and grime. But by May 5th, we should have it ready to go. This is good incentive! Sally
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Thanks for letting us know well in advance. It's still too nippy here to plant much. However, there is lots of scrubbing that needs to take place on my patio. :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in - I'll be making it happen so I can blog all about it!
ReplyDeleteI need to get some ideas brewing . . .

ReplyDeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog, it is beautiful. I was directed here from Between Naps on the Porch.
I will add your Invite button to my site as soon as I figure out how. Thanks for the invite to the Party. I will see how far I am with blogging by then.

Hi Barb - This party will be so much fun. I'll be working on getting my backyard ready for the party!
ReplyDeleteHello Barb~I've just strolled into your blog for my first visit...I've enjoyed taking a peek at your past posts. What beauty! You've got so many wonderful treasures,including your kitties. I have one of those furry assistance too. She's constantly walking across my keyboard. She thinks she's got fans in blogland and needs to send her regards:)
ReplyDeleteI've bookmarked you my favs.
I look forward to coming by your charming blog again, especially for the patio party. If we had sunshine I'd participate,but our weather isn't showing any promises with temps in the 50's.
Sweet Wishes,
Sara
I LOVE the idea..but...never mind. I LOVE the idea. (My front is..ok..but..I needed a push anyway.) I keep saying I am going to do one of these "special" day things..but ...I honestly think..I am intimidated..yes...I think I am!! :) Well..WHO wouldn't be..goodness...look at the talent!!
ReplyDelete~love and smiles~
Mona

Barb, I have your button up on my sidebar for a while now. Sorry for not letting you know. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm also getting my patio ready, slowly but surely! And the tablescape and menu... I can't wait!
I dropped in because of your clever name, and am again captivated by your clever ideas.
ReplyDeleteSign me up for the patio party---we just got ours spiffed up for houseguests, and the lawn is looking oh, so pretty with the grapevines beginning to leaf out and the hostas coming up.
I do believe you mean the 5th? as is on the logo, rather than the 15th as on the banner below.
Looking forward to all the parties to drop in on!!
