I was messing around outside this evening and thought I would take some pictures of the outside decorations on our porch. Unfortunately, the lot our home sits on is way too small for a garden, so the only plants I can have are hanging plants (which I often kill) or house plants. I LOVE Mickey Mouse, so the kids and Chris often get me something "Mickey" or Disney themed for special occasions. The Mickey with the watering can is my wind chimes I received for Mother's Day 2009. The hanging Mickey is my favorite! He's hanging off the purple flower. The other wind chime is from the Mississinewa Frontier Festival that takes place every year (in September) in Marion, IN. They put on a Civil War reenactment and have booths where you can buy old timey things. This is actually from a booth that was run by a favorite Irish band called "Father, Son, and Friends." They were playing music and selling Irish souvenirs. Very cool!
The little family you see here is a knicknack Chris bought on a day out to Shipshewana. We went into a neat little toy store in one of the shops and I saw this and had to have it! I need to get back there so I can get a bigger little boy, Colt is getting bigger! The flag is the decoration on our front door. I got this at the Kendallville Apple Festival a few years ago. I LOVE antique looking flag/patriotic items - my kitchen is full of them!
