My Front Porch

The North End of Boise is front porch heaven, 
and my husband and I are front porch-sitters. 

We often sit here on our front porch after work, sipping a glass of wine or beer and enjoying the mild Idaho evenings from spring through fall. 
We chat with our neighbors and people strolling by with their dogs, as the sun sets beyond the trees. 

It's one of the very best parts of living in The North End.

Tucker says, "Hello!" 

Thanks so much for coming to sit a spell 
on our front porch.

Please come again soon!

French Label Coasters

 

Earlier this month on my Friday Finds, I shared Heather's cute idea for

 terracotta pot saucer coasters over at

 Sunshine and Some Tea.

Sunshine and Some Tea

My version for my front porch has French labels of course. (You know how I am about French Labels!)

I started with terracotta plant saucers and painted them white. 

Then I decoupaged them with these free French label graphics from The Graphics Fairy. 

(I added the location of each label below its photo for you.)

And here are my completed French label coasters.

Tres chic, n'est-ce pas? I love that they stack and fit here perfectly on my front porch tray. Super easy and inexpensive, and no more rings on the table top and porch railing from cups, glasses, cans, and bottles! 

I hope you'll leave a comment with a link to your coasters if you make some. I'd love to see what you've done, too. 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
