Two Porches and A Pour Podcast: Episode #7

More Buying at Estate Sales, Thrift Shops and Yard Sales: The Joy of Finding Treasures

Join me and my Co-Host Wendy McMonigle from WM Design House every Wednesday on our Podcast called “Two Porches and a Pour”.

We live 2000 miles apart from each other and wish we could spend our Wednesdays on each others porch in real life but instead we are doing the next best thing. We are chatting with each other about everything from Life & Love to Design and everything in between.

We are also sharing with you each week what we are sipping from our front porch.
