Pretty Cape May Porches

My sister and I and our Mom went to Cape May, New Jersey last week (the hottest week of the year – the woman who worked at the hotel said she couldn’t remember it ever being that hot – great). We drove around in air conditioning and took pictures of the beautifully decorated porches and houses of Cape May because it was too hot to be on the beach. One day it was 99 degrees.

And then look for a P.S. at the end of the post for some crafty stuff we saw, too.

Green porch

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the beautiful trim on all the porches. Look at the railings... oh, and the colors!!

These dolls were not out on the porch the first day we were there. The second day they were out.

Are these porches over the top or WHAT??? It was so fun taking pictures of them.

ps

I did take some pictures of cool outdoor stuff to make. Hope you get some inspiration!

Isn’t this a funky birdhouse?

crazy bird house

I’ve seen these bottle sculptures around the web. I still love it though. I’m wondering if I can make one... hmm..

Beautiful rose wreath... there are a LOT of roses on this wreath.

I really like this cute painting of a bird hung on the front porch.

Some cute patriotic banners... I want to hang some banners on my little front porch.

pennants

I’ve seen these on the web, too. Carol and I already have the plates picked out to make these. This plate is on a stake. Love ‘em..

dish flowers

This is how the plate flowers are held onto the ground. A bottle is glued upside down on the back and a metal stake goes into the bottle and then is staked into the ground.

Back of plate

This is pretty interesting also. This is a metal sculpture, believe it or not. It looks like a branch or a tree but it’s really all metal.

Metal, rusted bird.

And here is a pretty flag we saw in front of one of the pretty cottages.

  8. OMGosh! those porches are amazing!
    Such beautiful photos.
    I LOVE front porches. It's to bad we don't still live in the era when everyone had a front porch. A place to sit in evenings and visit. A welcoming place to greet visitors.
    Thanks for sharing!!
    Will visit again soon.
    Blessings,
    Elizabeth
