Porch Club Romancing the Porch

Nikki the Prince of the Porch


Joining Jill  who is the host of the Porch Club this Monday for Romancing the Porch. I must say not much romance going on this porch unless I'm reading a Romantic novel or going through Romantic Homes Magazine and looking at all the dreamy images that I enjoy. I will share with you today one of my "Favorites Finds" as quite often we see favorite finds of another nature on blogs. This is Nikki and I found him in the street about 6 years ago and no one claimed him so, he was taken to the Vet, checked out, received all his shots including a micro-chip just in case he was ever lost again, neutered and licensed. He sleeps on my bed and follows me everywhere. I'm told when I leave the house he cries like a baby. He sat like a Prince while I took these pic's, very difficult to do since he thinks he owns the block. This is the Prince of my house and is so charming as he puts of with his sweet little spoiled Yorkie Sisters that want to know why he had to invade the household, so there you all have it Prince Nikki and Romantic Homes Magazine for me!

Welcome to My Porch!! Sit Down and Rock Awhile and Enjoy the Shade Well.....Maybe Next Time It's Raining Now!!

Welcome to my Porch, I would love to have you come for a visit and chat about how you like to spend time on your porch. Read a good book, enjoy some  hot morning coffee, spend an afternoon visiting over a pitcher of lemonade or iced tea. Maybe you want to chat about your latest creative idea or creation. How about browsing through Somerset magazines,  Cloth, Paper and Scissors or the latest issue of Prims. How about your latest find or treasure? I found this great rocker last year at the Goodwill for $20, almost new, very sturdy, comfy but it was a  blonde wood color and it just needed a little sanding, a shabby coat of white paint. I thought it was a steal after pricing them at Target and various other places. It will weather nice and vintage as time goes on. I recently dug out this old quilt and thought it would make a great throw and some covered cushions for Spring. Speaking of Spring, well yesterday it was beautiful here and today it is raining.  Not Spring yet! Now the quilt is folded up ready to put away until it hits the sewing machine and returns in cushions and throws. The little rocker needs some cushions too while I'm thinking about. Oh, don't forget to come back for another visit as this is just the Corner Nook of my front Porch, we have plenty more porch conversations to cover  and more porch views. How about we go visit some more porches with Jill's our host from Gypsy Brocante Thanks Jill for hosting the Porch Club. Great idea!
