Happy Independence Day America

Blog readers and followers want details so here's FYI : I honestly cannot spot a thing in this
setting that was not obtained from either a yard sale, flea market or bonafide JUNK STOP/
SHOP! Even the red fiesta plate was a cheap shopping trip ..a steal! I think the goblets [set
of 6] were about $2.00.  And the wonderful [empty] pot in the background was reduced way
LOW..[.LOWE'S]
Join me at  Kellys Korner Blog  www.kellyskornerblog.com  on the front porch, of course-
Everything you see here is resale shop, yard sale, etc. The little primitive  from
"The Heart of Things'" shop  Jasper, Tx made from wide old, old  boards.com




Yes I did ..drape my oldest most prized [antique-really]
quilt over this front porch table..not to worry it's temporary.
Gramma's old but not dumb~

  2. Carrie: I'm glad you like it..love doing it. I never pay big $$$ for things..sometimes real bargains and other times CHEAP [quality] that can be dressed up-But always my attitude is "USE WHAT I HAVE" and make it work. Thanks for stopping by..we had a great day-hope you did too.

  10. Absolutely love your porch and wicker furniture! This is perfect for your gorgeous tablscape! I love thrifting and you have used many lovely treasures in your tablescape. I like the salt and pepper shakers and all the red colors. The quilt with the tablecloth on top is just great for your background. Please, be kind enough to view my thrifted finds from GW for a tablescape I posted!

    Thanks, Pam
