today we went to columbia ,after making a phone call to artichoke annie's,about more porch posts,yup more!
ron decided last night we needed a bigger pergola on the other side of the house's patio..never think a man cant suprise you cause this threw me for a loop! well im excited ,what girl wouldnt be so we drive the hour and half and yup he bought 4 posts and a old railing and 2 other posts were thrown in as well.."whew-hoo,flappping my arms like a bird(hummimgbird) i think,lol..the posts were 42.00 each and railing was 150.00,it was 343.00 orginally
we got it all for 225.00, a great deal!!
then i was searching myself looking for a pretty pillow case to put on a pillow on my wicker chaise and i found a cushion done in some vintage material for around 30.00,minus discount of course!!
then we went to the ice chalet also in columbia,one of our 1st haunts we found there months back,i found a shabby chic looking rabbit 10.00,who is losing his or her white paint as i write,lol..
and some old ticking material for 5.00.

no,no plants today,did i care...nah..i was having fun,the day got up to 80in temp,sunny most of the day but very breezy(40 mile an hour winds)

well till next time...hugs//

WOOHOO!! What a find! What a deal! What a guy!
Oh, your Ron is a definite keeper, Kat!!

One of the things sadly lacking in my area,
is a place that sells architectural salvage,
so I'm green with envy, but happy for you at the same time.

:-D
