I used a faux fall wreath (because I can be lazy) but hung a few rusty metal pieces from it - found attached to old lighting fixtures I was given last week.
My fall decorated stoop.
Ive used my freebie ladder in displays before but hadnt added the clock till now!  Thanks to you at Junkmarket! I purchased the vintage metal bicyle basket at a church sale for $2 - lined it with an old coffee bean burlap bag and filled with live mums.  
I found the large galvanized tub on the curbside and my father gave me the fishing bucket that holds my cabbage. 
This stand is leftover from when I was a sales rep for a Lillian Vernon direct sales company.  The added junk is part-two of my dads old fishing bucket and a stainless vegetable steamer I purchased for $.50 at a thrift store.

Unfortunately I don't have much of a front porch, however I've tried to make the most of my front "stoop" with the budget I had.

I have an indoor ladder and I'm always trying to find different ideas. I'll be searching for a basket! Your wreath looks awesome against the black door. I hope you post your winter holiday entrance too!
Thanks for the inspiration!

You don't need much space to create a welcoming display - and you did a great job!
