Summer on My Front Porch

Welcome!

A quick note to let you know that My Front Porch will be closed for a short time while I develop my new web site.  I will be linking the Porch to my web site and will let you know as soon as we are rocking on the porch again!

In the meantime, have a wonderful summer and see you soon.

Thank you for your continued friendship, patronage, and support.

Until next time,

Suzanne

Spring Fling Totes

Hey Friends,

Just a quick hello and wishing you a happy Spring!

I know I usually post my original hand made creations here on My Front Porch, however I just finished making these fabulously fun, fresh, and functional totes for my Zazzle shop.

Each is printed with one of my hand painted watercolour and gouache designs {the originals are for sale, by the way} on a cotton canvas tote bag.

These are perfect for the beach, farmer's market, or even a bright and cheerful book bag for your child to take to school.

They are all customizable and you may also select different styles and sizes of the totes.  These shown are the "budget" tote and I chose this size because the design fits just right on it.

Have fun and grab a few.  They would make darling gift bags for teachers or a new neighbor too.

Enjoy your day and thanks so much for your visit to My Front Porch.

Hope to see in my Zazzle shop!

Until next time,

Suzanne

Black & White

It's been a while since I was last on My Front Porch.  The first of the year has had me off the porch working on some other projects.  For those of you who stop by and let me know you were here, thank you.  I do appreciate it.

Enough of the pink!  Now that Valentine's Day is past us, it's time to move on to a fresh, clean colour palette...

...or no colour at all. 

How about the simplicity of black and white?

I love this combination whether it be a black and white photograph, pen and ink drawing, or bold graphic patterns on fabric.  And it's always fabulous paired with a bright yellow punch of colour.
