I want to tell you about one of my best friends, Edna, really quick. She is an absolute riot. I never laugh as hard as I do when we are together. She is also a great listener and I always know I can tell her anything and she won’t judge. Edna is also in the middle of planning her first daughter’s wedding and it is in just a little over a month. In fact the bridal shower posts I have done are for her daughter. I have been watching Edna stress out about not only getting everything done but how is it all going to get paid for. Not to mention the emotional roller coaster of having her daughter getting married. When I was presented with the opportunity to surprise one of my friends with a mini backyard spruce-up. I absolutely knew I had to surprise Edna.

The other fun thing about Edna is that she is really excitable. For example, I sent her a text message to break the news to her and look at this photo her sister in law sent me. She was making quite a scene in the store. That is not for comedic effect either, that is just Edna.

I knew I made the right choice right away. We took an evening and went over to Kmart to pick out a new patio set and some accessories. We had a ball shopping through Kmart looking not only for patio sets and accessories, but also some gifts for the bridal shower! You can see all about our girls shopping trip HERE.

Kmart also has a Shop Your Way Rewards program with tons of great discounts and coupons. For instance we got some free PopChips for spending $25 dollars. I just went onto the Kmart.com website and printed out the coupon.
Okay, lets get down to business and show you the patio set we picked out. First, here is the before picture. Just some toys and a kids size picnic table. You definitely won’t be sitting six people on that little thing.

Edna’s husband was nice enough to do the assembly for us. Of course we “supervised” while chatting away about wedding plans and details. I snapped a quick picture while he was taking a water break. It’s quite warm in Arizona this time of year, as you can imagine. I love the hexagon shape of the table.

 

Here is a close-up shot of our table set-up. We picked up almost everything at Kmart. The silverware caddy and ketchup and mustard containers we already had. It is all ready for a barbecue.
