My Outdoor Oasis and Pier 1
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Pier 1 Imports. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.
It’s been years since I stepped inside a Pier 1. It was a store my grandmother would bring me to often as a child, but I never really thought I could afford any of it.
I was wrong.
I recently spent an hour inside our local store shopping for an “Outdoor Oasis” party.
Unfortunately my budget wasn’t large enough to snag some of this amazing outdoor furniture. The wicker wrap around sofa was calling my name. The combination of wicker and the bright greens and blues would be perfect for my back deck.
After a little daydreaming I was able to purchase several items that worked in well with my outdoor theme.
I had planned a simple gathering and planned on serving picnic type munchies. I set everything up under a big tree in our side yard for sun shelter. Because most of the activities I had planned occurred in my front yard/driveway and lasted well into the evening this was the perfect place for this particular party.
My favorite item purchased is the beverage tub. It is super versatile and the tray that sets in the base is removable so you can pass around treats or leave it in the base and store cups/etc. I couldn’t wait to use it and actually had it set up during our garage sale as well.
The outdoor lanterns not only kept the insects away with citronella candles, but helped with keeping the table illuminated enough to see the goodies into the evening hours.
The most frequented table after sunset was the smores table and being able to see what you are assembling was a nice plus.
My Outdoor Oasis includes friends, fire pits, bikes, scooters, pizza, chips, pop and smores. Oh, and a little outdoor theater projected onto the garage door doesn’t hurt either. I’m saving up to buy garden water features next because I find the sound of water relaxing. This was an amazingly relaxed experience and we already have plans to gather for another one very soon.
