We Remember! {Memorial Day}

 Recently, the white hydrangea doorhanger was changed to the red, white, and blue one from Southern Antiques. I adore the chinoserie urn filled with red blooms. The addition of the American flags makes this piece perfect for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Red, white, and blue buntings from Home Malone were added to the iron fence, and a custom patriotic flag from Tom Tom and Company flows in the breeze.

I am ready for a great holiday weekend. Are you?

Red, White, & Blue, y'all!

Spring has Sprung!

 Spring has definitely sprung here in New Orleans as the oak pollen has been filling the air and the sidewalks. As soon as St. Patrick's Day passed, the bunnies were ready to get outside. Around the front yard, bunnies, eggs, and carrots abound in all of their Eastery glory. The bunny doorhanger and mat also welcome guests to the Acorn Cottage.

I am most looking forward to the upcoming break for some well-deserved time away from school.

Springtime, y'all!

It's March! Go Green.

 It's the start of the month of March, so it is time to go green at the Acorn Cottage. I got my festive St. Patrick's Day decor put up over the weekend and am ready to usher in March. It has felt like spring here for a solid week, and I am loving it! The snapdragons are also loving this time of year.

The leprechaun doorhanger from Tom Tom and Company is a favorite of mine and is the perfect welcome to guests in the month of March.

Corrugated shamrocks are also spread throughout the front yard.

Shamrocks & Leprechauns, y'all!

It's Fall at the Acorn Cottage

 Last Wednesday, the Halloween decorations were packed up until next year. The pumpkins remained, and the turkey doorhanger was placed on the door. The doorhanger is from Southern Antiques in Laurel, MS. The doorhangers go fast, so when they appear on instagram, you have to act fast. Two gold gilded magnolia wreaths were placed lovingly too.

The new turkey door mat is from Tom Tom and Company. It makes for a great, seasonal welcome.

I love the colors of Fall and am finally happy that the temperatures have also been cooperating (at least for a day or two).

Happy Fall, y'all!

Halloween Door Hanger & Flag

 I have loved the custom doorhangers by TomTom and Company for years, and now I love how the company has added coordinating personalized flags. Recently, the harlequin pumpkin door hanger was added to the door, and the coordinating flag personalized with Acorn Cottage was added to its bracket. I adore how each add that special seasonal touch to the facade of the home.

End of Summer {Summer Flag}

 I shared my seashells & chinoserie summer door hanger a few weeks ago, and I was elated when Tom Tom and Company added a custom flag to match. 

The bonus included a custom monogram. I was so happy when it arrived and hung it proudly. The matching set is perfect for the summer months.

Summer Flag, y'all!

Happy 4th of July!!!

 The front facade here at the Acorn Cottage is ready for the week of 4th of July. A recently purchased doorhanger from Southern Antiques is a perfect, patriotic welcome to our guests.

How are you and yours celebrating the 4th? Stay cool.

Happy Fourth, y'all!

Welcome Summer! {Summer Door Hanger}

 Hi, y'all!

It's been a while as I have been enjoying my first few days of summer vacation. The end of the school year is always busy, and the first days of vacation are filled with lots of rest and relaxation.

I recently purchased a new summer doorhanger from one of my go-tos for seasonal door hangers, Tom Tom and Company. The newest doorhanger, Seashells & Chinoserie, is a perfect welcome for the months of summer.

TomTom's original "Seashells and Chinoiserie" design is a true favorite for this season.  It can be hung on your coastal home or in town to celebrate the summer season.

The top hole allows you to add your own ribbon or cording for hanging. It is completely outdoor safe, with pigmented outdoor inks, so there is no fading.

Seashells & Chinoserie, y'all!

Some Bunny Welcome

 I absolutely adore the newest doorhanger that I purchased online this season from TomTom and Company. The "Hello Dolly" doorhanger is the perfect compliment to all the Easter touches this year. With the addition of a pink and white gingham bow, "Hello Dolly" is perfect.

I am so ready for Easter break and some well-earned beach time.

Hippity, hoppity Easter is on its way.

Hello Dolly, y'all!
