Sundays Life Among The Blooms Vol. 13
Good morning, sweet friends! Welcome to Sundays Life Among The Blooms! Hope you have your cup of coffee in hand (tea or favorite beverage).
Here on Sundays, I talk about random things going on over at White Lilac Farmhouse and things that stop me in my tracks.
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT WHITE LILAC FARMHOUSE
This week Santa came through the neighborhood on the firetruck. It’s always fun to see the little children standing outside waiting for him.
Unfortunately, my video did not turnout well to share. It was very loud with all of the sirens going. The Grinch handed out candy canes to the little ones.
We invited the grandchildren that live 5 minutes away and my parents over for a pizza party. I don’t know who enjoyed seeing Santa more, my mother or the children.
After Santa left two of our neighbors little girls came over with my grandchildren for some hot chocolate.
Front Porch
This week, I finished up my front porch. No blog post was done on it. I shared photos and videos in IG and FB. Today Life Among The Blooms has all the details



I went shopping in the basement to grab some stuff. After I finished it, the bottom part looked too plain. In the basement found this vintage red box. The color and size of the box was perfect for this space. A few logs from the firepit area was placed in the box.

It turned out nice and love the reds and greens. The Plaid bucket was find at Target a few years ago. It was $5 and has been used all over the house.
Here is the video of me putting this area together.
Here are some other photos of my porch.

BEAUTIFUL INSPIRATIONS FROM OTHERS
Here are some of my favorites inspirations this week from my blogging friends.

This photo of Pasha with Pasha Is Home stopped my scrolling. First, I love red at Christmas time. If you follow Pasha, her home has lots of whites throughout her spaces. This gorgeous outdoor space with the white and pops of red. It’s is stunning! You can read her post Merry Ways To Decorate Your Outdoor Spaces for Christmas here.

This craft room of Leslie with My 100 Year Old Home. She has it decorated for Christmas. I have long admired Leslie’s talent. My craft room is pretty. It could use a good cleaning.
Goals for next year is to decorate it festive for the holiday. You can read more about how she decorates this special room here.

I love a great dupe and Jen with Tatertots And Jello has this beautiful Antropologie-Inspired Painted Bouquet Holiday Ornaments. The colors are vibrant and pretty on her blooms. How fun to make these for your Christmas tree.
