This is my home....a 1901 Craftsman.
Here is the front porch.
or swing and watch the bats catch bugs at night.
It needs some work but it is just so cozy.
I've prepared some snacks for us...
cupcakes, lemonade, strawberries, pistachio salad.
All the things that make summer so delicious!
I do not like raw coconut.
But toast it in the oven and I will eat it by the shovel-full!
mmmmmm.
It was wonderful to have you join us!
{{After the "photo shoot", the girls enjoyed having a little tea party with the yummy treats}}
Have a wonderful day...

LOve your porch! The pictures of the girls is precious!
so adorable!
it seems like everything was made with so much love.
have a wonderful week!
I'll have a little of everything, please - it all looks so good!
Love your House....love the yard....love the porch!! Wonderful!
Those goodies....mmmmm...can I have seconds please?
That is my kind of porch and the cupcakes makes the porch more inviting. How nice it was your daughters got to celebrate the porch party with us!
The front of your house reminds me of raspberries :-)
I also think that fave area of yours is a really cozy one and you even have curtains for privacy :-) but I would love to sit on that swing porch of yours. It'll be nice to just sit there very early in the morning to meet the sun or late evening when the sun sets. Very dreamy!
For the yummies - you really prepared. And they really are fitting for summer. Yes please I would love to have a glass of lemonade and a cupcake (well, for cupcakes it's good for me all year round LoL). Also I would like to try your pistachio salad cause I haven't tried one yet.
I hope the little ones left some, but if not... oh well I'm happy to see that they enjoy their tea part very much (just look at those smiles!) :-)

Beautiful! Old wicker, old screened door, and fabulous cupcake to boot...what more could a girl want. I love the look of your craftsman style home.
♥, Susan
Cute house, love the style. Great front porch to watch for the ice cream truck, DING-DING! Root Beet bullet pops.
I know what you mean about toasted coconut, yummo.
And what cute little tea party guests come to eat your sweets.
Everyone is having fun!

I am seriously drooling over your A & C style house! THANKS for the tour.
Those cupcakes look so good! Ummm. I love the rocking porch swing. Its such beautiful. Thank you
My grandparents lived in a little craftsman bungalow and I've always loved them... your front porch takes ma back! Everything looks so serene and peaceful... I especially enjoyed those little cupcake eaters at the end of your post! Tell them I said Good Job!
You prepared a lovely lunch for us.Your cozy corner is so pretty.I love the photos of the girls too.

How EXCITING!!!! Thank you, thank you!!! I LOVE your porch, its darling and so inviting. I want to come over and hang out there! :) Have a great day, and thanks again!!!!!
Hi Chastity
Thanks for joining in my party. I love your porch. There is nothing like a porch on a charming old home. It looks so inviting. Thanks for all the goodies too. They were yummy.
Hugs, Rhondi
I love porches!! I will never understand why So California homes don't have them: we have the perfect weather and no bugs!!!
Good morning Chasity :)
I love your home! The Craftsman style will forever hold a special place in my heart, because of growing up around them in California. Your front porch is wonderful.
The little side porch is perfect too and I am drooling over your screen door! All of ours are the 50s metal kind, so we'll have to search around for some that look like originals.
The food looks delicious!

What a pretty little house and I love your porch. We don't have many houses with porches around here (so cal) although I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home with a porch. Ahhh the bygone days of enjoying bomb pops...loved those!
I meant to ask, when I dropped by - What is a Bomb Pop?
Sniff sniff, I really want a porch! Both of your porches are wonderful, thanks for inviting me over for a party...!
Yeah for Tricia!!!
Chasity, I love, love, love your home. It is gorgeous. And, your porches are so cozy and inviting.
I helped myself to some pistachio salad. It was so cool and creamy - just the perfect treat.
Thank you for inviting us for a visit.
I really, really love your porch and the colors are fabulous. :)Nancy
I adore your porch! And your home!! SO lovely. I love the swing :) Your porch is so inviting. Those cupcakes look fabulous too!! Thank you so much for having us today :)
Hugs,
Amy
I think this may be my first visit to your blog. I like how you added curtains to your porch. That is very in right now and Angelo on RMS did it to a porch he designed and it looked great. You will need to post the recipe for your pistachio salad on the Saturday Summer Salads meme.
love the brick work on your porch and the your door is fab!
your porch looks like a wonderful place to spend a summers day...thanks for sharing your party!!!
Thank you for the cupcake - I love coconut! How I wish I had such a porch on the front of my house! And the porch swing - always wanted one of those! You have a great porch!
Manuela
I LOVe porches and yours is GREAT! I could sit out there for hours!! Aren't we glad it is summer?!?!?!?!?!? I am!!

You have a great porch...but please, could you just figure out a way to send me one of those cupcakes!!! I LOVE coconut..toasted or not!
Hi Chastity! I've just bought over another basket of eggs. Your 1901 Craftsman has the most delightful porch! What a gracious residence with food to match! Thanks for inviting me! Don't mind if I sample some of your lovely pistachio salad...oh and those cupcakes with toasted coconut look scrumptious!

Beautiful porch party. So envious. Your porch looks so inviting. I especially love the linen curtains hanging in the breeze at the end! The pistachio salad looks yummilicious, too!
Congrats Tricia! What a beautiful home and amazing front porch. I love coconut and would have been pushing people out of the way for those cupcakes:-)
I don't like raw coconut either...but I will try roasteing it because I love the flavor of it. Your porch looks so inviting! Beautiful...
