Summer heat

Wow! What a hot summer we are having here in SC!! Hope that everyone is under the AC or in the pool keeping cool! Have found some great items around at some local sales! Nice wrought iron table, perfect for sun porch or dining room, a modern glass coffee table, and some plant containers!
 I am finally coming around to "shabby chic-ing" some itmes I have found. Love the look of painted and reclaimed items, just never tried it, and now I have found a new theropy!! Yay!!
