I walked out to my front yard to pick some tulips and there was a gentle spring rain coming down.It felt so fresh on my face as I bent down to cut these beautiful red tulips.
If I don't enjoy them now, I told myself, in a few days their beauty will fade.
I also love springtime because of yard sales. And last Saturday morning I snagged this lovely $3 plant hanger to put on my front patio.
This looks like a great project for someone (but not me - no time!) to make on their own.
Wrap with your favorite paper (wallpaper?)
And decoupage
Tie the color of print in with your front door
I've found that these containers are not always water-tight, so I put my tulips in a Ziploc bag and added water
And hung on my front porch
My $3 find on Saturday was perfect for spring.
Perfect with my red front door.
And a perfect welcoming look for when our friends, family and guests come to say hello!

What's on your porch, or hanging on your front door?

What an awesome find! Your tulips, in that beautiful container looks wonderful. I'm ashamed to say, since moving into my apartment, I haven't done anything yet to my entrance. I'm still working on the inside, but eventually will get around to the outside. ♥

Very cute!! I love great finds. I like the ziplock idea too. I will have to use that in the future.

How pretty! I'll be looking for one of those containers!
I have a wreath on my door with a little bird (REAL) that has made a nest in it....it almost attacked our piano teacher last week when she tried to come in....
I love what you did...it's beautiful.

p.s. thanks for linking me...that is sweet.
Wow! Sandy, it's beautiful. I love tulips. Your entrance looks so welcoming with your lovely flowers hanging there.
Looks lovely!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
That container and the red tulips were meant to co-exist!! That looks bee-u-tee-ful!!!

what a beautiful nod to Earth Day! The tulips are stunning.
Thanks Sandy, for the mention! Decoupage is really fun. I love your container now. I've got to get busy with my front entrance too. Have a basket on the door,but I need a little more on the front steps. xo
Thanks for the shout out!!
Great idea about lining the inside with the zip top bag. I'll have to remember that!
Beautiful! So much more interesting than a flower wreath. It reminds me of a May basket.
I LOVE IT!!! I just can't bring myself to put a hole in my wall outside...am I strange??? Maybe I can find one of those 3M hooks...see if that might work.
Gorgeous, you have inspired me to spruce up my front porch today :)
OMGoodness!!! You have tulips growing in your front yard? What a joy that must be :)

That is so pretty! Ya did good! I'm sorry to say the only thing hanging on my door in so.Ca. is a No Soliciting sign :0)
Very pretty. Never thought of putting a bag in the pot. I will also have to spruce up my front porch.

I love the idea of hanging fresh flowers by the door. Your hanger is beautiful.
I have been searching for one of those containers forever. I've googled and googled to no avail. Maybe I mam using wrong search words. I did find one, but it was made out of straw and my front door isn't covered. I love your blog. I'll be back!
That is so clever and beautiful! This is what I did to my front door:
Pretty Door Decor on Purple Lemon DesignsThanks for the inspiration!
I want to hit yard sales. What a beautiful container..though I have a feeling it's going to take me awhile before my hubby will want anything hanging on the sides of our new house (C:
Very SPRING! Love it! I'll have to remember that Ziplock bag idea!
Love the paper you chose to cover it! And the tulips are beautiful, too!
I love tulips and this is an absolutely adorable display of them!
Loved your door deco - I have an adirondak chair, a goat cart, and some baskets on my front porch.
Sandy~~
Love your find! I use the same trick for keeping the water where it belongs :-)
So...A Red Front Door~~Now you are
Tres Chic!
This is wonderful! I love the ziploc idea! Thanks for that little piece of knowledge to stash! :)
It's kind of funny because my across the breezeway neighbor in our apt. bldg. has seasonally changing, beautiful wreaths, decorations, etc. My door presently has nothing. It just hasn't been a priority since we enter through the back door and I never see it/think about it and there is so much other "nest feathering" that I have been doing since we moved into our new place.
The thing that's funny though is that some of my friends who have come over at different times have commented that they thought that must be my door because it looks so much more "me" than a plain old door. :)
All in good time . . .

Great idea to put your flowers in a ziploc bag. I'll have to remember that, especially for arrangments outdoors! Your wallpaper covered hanger turned out great! So colorful!
