PICK YOUR FAVORITE FALL PORCH---RESULTS

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for playing along!!

So---
WHO voted for WHAT?
First off, let me just say that I am
SO PROUD OF YOU GIRLS
that have a hard time picking 
JUST ONE!
You did good!
Very, very good!

Here we go:
The TOP winner had almost double the 
votes of #2 and #3.

FIRST PLACE
goes to 
OLD STONY (#4).
It won hands down!
I think there is character and charm and a 
sense of solid home-place here.
Plain and simple with a bit of glitz with the
TWO GOLD PUMPKINS.
SECOND PLACE 
goes to
NOT CORNY AT ALL (#6)

I thought this one looked like someone
might actually live there.
Corn stalks are just a little wonky
like the wind blew them around,
urns are tipsy-tilt a bit
and it looks family-friendly, doesn't it?
source unknown
Coming in a 
CLOSE THIRD
LEAFY WREATHY  (#3)
It is fun for me to see 
what you all pick...
a lot of times 
I know you well enough from your blog
to know which one will strike your fancy.
Sometimes, though, you fool me.

Ummm...
speaking of fool...
How about the someone that made these for
a place like 
WALMART?
Personally, I have always thought
ASIA  should look like AFRICA...
but that is just my personal opinion.

Looks like someone slept through 
GEOGRAPHY CLASS
to me!
Have a great Monday.

Come back tomorrow-
I might have a sweet little giveaway for you!
Maybe---if you are good----maybe

    Oh yes, I didn't have ttime to comment but the stone one was my favorite too! Too many years walking over my stone mountains makes me partial to stone!
    HA HA on the ASIA t shirt...too funny! xx

    Didn't play... but I like "Old Stony" too.

    It looks like it could be an old cottage/house doorway. And I am really, really, really into old cottages/houses these days. :-)

    Old, but loved and taken care of. Hey, sounds like me!!!! ,-))))

    I would be thrilled with any one of those porches Diana!!! And I have to tell you what a kick I get out of your Walmart pics! ( Although Walmart does owe me a few laughs since they do have most of our money!!!)
    Wishing you a wonderful Monday!

    I guess I'm in the minority about the porches. Old stoney did remind me of England. That t-shirt is a riot! Sure hope kids don't fall for that one! I can always count on a laugh from you! xo ♥

    I have a stone front house, I picked #3, because I love that white and black classic look. I guess the grass is always greener isn't it! Gotta love Walmart! ;)

    I live the third place, the best, but it's a good thing we all have different tastes or all our porches would look the same. I always have grand ideas to decorate the porch for Fall, but usually I end up with a few pumpkins and a wreath! LOL!

    Nice post.

    hugs

    I can't belive I missed out on picking a porch :( Oh well, you know me....I have a hard time picking just one! :) I love the three that were featured - each one is unique and truly beautiful.

    Happy Monday, my friend. Love to you!

    Just goes to show that I do have a rare taste. Mine probably did not even get an honorable mention. O, well, all in fun.

    Boo!!! #4 would have been my 2nd choice...but oh well...better luck next time...HA!! My decorating skills will just consist of a pumpkin on the front porch and then that pumpkin will head into the kitchen after halloween to be made into a pie. Yep, I can taste it right now.

    Yay! I won! Well, the porch I liked best did! This is a fun thing and I know you have to go searching for things for us to pick! Now that Tshirt is a hoot! Can you believe it? :)
    Glad you're back, I've missed you.

    Yay! The one I picked won! (I think I'm of the age where I've seen it all before and now I'm seeing it again, ie: cornstalks, too many wreaths, too much unkjay on the orchpay)

    Ha-ha on the shirt!! Not surprising, though. I would have chosen Old Stony also. One of the reasons I'm so fond of Yorkshire. Of course, I'm not the one who had to pick all that rock!

    I'm stumped...many of the products at Walmart state made in China....really?

    Love the post - I liked the Orange door for Halloween, would have to re-paint it after. Fun fun fun.
    You never know what your going to find at that store.
    Have a great week.

    Well, darn! Looks like my favorite wasn't even close, oh, well! I have a feeling that t-shirt will be going on clearance at Walmart. Reminds me of a t-shirt I saw years ago in Copper Harbor. Seems like the makers of the shirts liked the name "Cooper Harbor" better! They were on clearance, don't think they sold any!!

    I did like #4, but I still liked the one I picked. The ly were all pretty and if someone would have came over and decorated my front porch, I'd would have been thrilled with any theme. :)
    That shirt....there are no words...just wow! It amazes me how dumb people are. Only at Wal-Mart! Sheesh!

    Have a delightful week, Diana!
