~First Impressions~

They say it's always good to make a good first impression right? Well that's what I hope people get as they walk up our front walk to the entry.

 New planters filled with a variety of flowers.
 Still love my red Roo!
 I've had this boxwood wreath for a few years, I just added the burlap bow.
    Thank you for always stopping by for a visit!
 I'm joining Alison over @ The Polohouse for Favorites on The First. Hope to see you all there!

    Hi Martina! Your entry is so beautiful! If I walked up to your front door, first I'd poke that Rooster in my big bag, I'd be dying to see what was behind the door! :)
    Be a sweetie,

    I love your simple wreath, Martina! Your flowers make your front door look so inviting. I just planted an urn yesterday and bought some other plants and flowers. I just need a shepherd's hook and then I'm going back for three hydrangea bushes.
