Summer's Knocking!

I love changing up the decor on the front door every season!
Lest that sound like a LOT of work and a LOT of storage is needed, lemme' 'splain:

The easiest way to do this is to find a container of some kind to hang on your front door...

like the cute white wire cone-shaped basket shown here.
My Mom actually found this at a thrift store
[the nut didn't fall far from the tree!]

and it is proving to be a perfect way to easily - and inexpensively - freshen up the door decor.

For a fresh spring accent in April, I filled the basket with real moss from the yard 

and faux pink roses that came off of an old wreath Mom had shoved in the garage....  FREE!
A snippet of vintage ribbon and it was done:

Now that Summer is arriving, it's time to refresh the basket.

I went to the dollar store and found everything you see below:
one set of 3 flags, one set of flip-flops, 

1 bunch of red flowers and two bunches of white daisies,

and a red bandana.
Cost? $6.

I wrapped the bandana around the foam already in the cone basket,

then stuck the flags and flowers into the foam.

I shoved the flip flops between the bandana-wrapped foam and the back of the basket,

and hung it all on a nail in the screen door.

Fast. Cheap. Easy.TM
... and at the end of summer, it will be filled up with fall leaves and a big ol' foam pumpkin.

From the dollar store.

Because cheap does not mean tacky! 

Yet because it's so inexpensive, 

it's no big deal to throw it all away - instead of storing it for a whole year.
