Garden Flags are an easy way to decorate for various holidays throughout the year. They add a nice pop of color to your outdoor spaces and don’t take up a lot of storage space either. I have 3 garden flag holders on our property and love to switch out my garden flags as holidays & seasons change. You can place them near your front door, back door, deck area, or place in a flower bed. Fun way to decorate!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I purchased 2 new garden flags to add to my collection. Each one is double-sided and made out of 2-layers. They’re a really nice quality, not the thin (fall apart in a month) stuff you find at bargain discount stores. Seriously, really nice quality that will last season to season with proper care.
I purchased the Valentine’s Day Love Letters design which I absolutely LOVE! It features hearts, closed roses, love letters and it says Happy Valentine’s Day. It’s double-sided, so it will display and read properly from both sides!!! It’s machine washable, line dry and weather resistant.
The second one that I purchased for my collection was the Happy Valentine’s Day Gnomes Riding in a Car design. It features a Gnome couple going out on a Valentine’s Day date. If you look closely, she has braided hair and is holding a heart. It’s double-sided, so it will also display correctly from both sides. Machine washable, line dry and weather resistant.
Above you’ll see how they look hanging in my front and back yards on a flag holder. As you can see…they hang perfectly! When it comes to the flag holders…you want to buy decent quality ones, not flimsy ones that will rust or blow away in a wind storm. They should be sturdy and offer an easy way for you to slide your flag on and off. There are some styles that are way too complicated for my old hands!
If you want your decorative garden flags to last for several years you want to take care of them properly. Machine wash on delicate cycle, hang to dry. I take the extra step of spraying my flags with a fabric spray that protects them from moisture, color fading, etc. You can buy them on Amazon and I highly recommend them so that you’re protecting your investment.

My front porch is a work in progress. I like simple and classic coastal cottage decor. I don’t like things modern nor too fancy. I want my porch to look simple and comfortable, nothing high maintenance and certainly nothing that costs a fortune to do. …
Outdoor storage sheds come in all different sizes and shapes. You can purchase ones made from treated wood, metal, hard plastic, coated rubber, and all type’s of materials. They can come completely empty inside or loaded with extra features. When looking to buy a new outdoor storage shed you need to consider several things before making your purchase.
Here’s a few things to consider.
1. Permits. Do you need a permit in your municipality to take down or put up a new shed? If so, do you meet all of the qualifications listed?
2. Location. You need to know exactly where you’ll be placing it on your property. It should be kept away from water wells, sewer lines, old trees, etc. Is the ground even? Does the area need work to make it a safe location?
3. Size. Which size best fits within the area you plan on placing it?
4. Materials. What kind of materials is it made out of? Are those materials great for your weather conditions and environment? Will it hold up to extreme heat? Cold? Snow?
5. Ease of Assembly. The majority of garden sheeds come unassembled. Can you assemble it yourself or will you need help? Are any special tools required for the job?
6. Design. Does it coordinate with the home on the property? You want a coordinated look between your home and other buildings on your property.
7. Extras. Does it have any type of ventilation? Can you run electrical power to it? Does it come with shelving or storage bins? Does it have a window? What kind of doors does it have? Do these extra features meet your needs?
8. Warranty. Does it come with a warranty? Is it free or does it cost extra? What type and for how long?
