Saturday Shopping with Me and My Friends #23
Welcome to Saturday Shopping at this Small House
Once a month I go shopping with some of my blogger buddies because it’s always more fun when you shop with a friend!
On my blog Living Large in A Small House, I may sometimes use affiliate links, which means a small commission is earned if you purchase via the link. The price will be the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website using a non-affiliate link. You can find my full Disclosure Policy HERE
4th of July
I’m not someone who goes crazy with decorations for this holiday. What I will do are some things that aren’t necessarily “4th of July” decor but adds the touches of red to my already white and blue palette. You can read about how I decorate my home with vintage for the patriotic holidays HERE.
All of my finds this week are from Walmart!
- If I did have a 2nd floor balcony or a railing around my porch, I would definitely be investing in bunting. That is one holiday decoration that I love.
- I also found this wreath that I thought would look amazing on the front door and can last all summer long, not just on the 4th.
- A red, white and blue pillow for my outdoor living room along with a cozy throw adds a patriotic vibe to the space.
- If you on the lookout for a comfortable outfit to wear to a party, I loved this dress paired with a straw hat, a straw bag, and these wedge sandals.
What My Friends Are Loving
Anna
Have you seen the latest Pioneer Woman products at Walmart? OMG! They are adorable and perfect for summer. Here are some of my favorite pieces, all at a very reasonable price.
- The entire “Agatha” design exemplifies country charm. This butter dish for less than $11, this 12 piece set of plates for less than $54, and this coffee mug for less than $6 are selling quickly.
- I fell in love with this ceramic rolling pin in the “Agatha” design.
- This 20-piece gold flatware set is stylish and affordable.
- Can you ever have too many kitchen towels? This set of 4 kitchen towels has a timeless appeal.
Cindy
- It’s always nice to refresh a room with a new rug, especially with one that reflects the season. These rugs from Walmart, are a great price. I especially love the vintage look to these rugs.
- In addition to a new rug, I found these beautiful curtains that are perfect for spring and summer. Each package contains two panels. While I love the green on beige floral pattern, there are other patterns available.
- Taking care of my skin is one of my priorities. These products from Josie Maran are my “go-to” solution for skin care.
- With the warmer weather, I am spending more time in my She-Shed! Here are some one gallon watering cans that caught my eye.

I’m getting ready for a short escape next week to Northern CA. We’re planning a lot of walking and e-bike adventures. Hello, athleisure — must have casual sports attire that’s also cute. Because, after all we’re on vacation!
- These shoes are soooo cute and incredibly comfy. I have been wearing them with everything!!! The sole is not super thick cushy. So if you need that with extra support, I highly suggest these as a great alternative .
- This amazing bag is the only bag I’ll need, wearing it crossbody when we’re walking and as a waist bag when biking!
- Don’t let a little rain or cool, windy weather ruin your vacation. I love this packable hooded rain jacket from Cole Haan — but don’t let the brand scare you off. It’s at Nordstrom Rack so it’s a great price! Fits in a neat little zipper pouch that you can take with you for any surprise weather.
- Do you know sunscreen expires, losing its efficacy. Stock up now on my favorite sunscreen!!! And younger gals, always have sunscreen on your hands when you head out doors (I so wish my mother had told me this)!!!
Lora
- There’s nothing I hate more than planting up a beautiful outdoor container and having pests dig in them and wreck them right away. Sooo frustrating! This year, I sprayed THIS around the containers and on the non-edible plants. So far, so good; no ones messed with the pretty! (yes, it does have a bad odor-similar to vinegar, but it goes away)
- Summer is the best time to give your outdoor furniture a refresh. Pick a non-windy day when the sun is hot, and definitely use one of THESE handles if you are spray painting. An inexpensive way to save your trigger finger and get a much smoother paint job.
- I bought these cute red striped pillow covers for Christmas, but enjoyed them for Valentine’s too. Now I’m loving them for summer with patriotic flags and old quilts. They have white rick rack in the seam all around, and wooden buttons. The matching curtains are adorable, too; so farmhouse classic. 100% cotton and made by a small business. Find them HERE.
- THESE small solar lights are great to use anywhere. They last all night, too. I popped them in my hanging porch baskets and tucked them into tabletop containers. I also want to put them into an old brass chandelier, once “we” take the electricity out. I love the shadows they cast around the yard and house on summer nights. They come in a set of 6; less than a dollar a piece!
I hope that you enjoyed shopping with me today!
If you made a purchase, please know that we all appreciate it as it helps in a small way to support our small house businesses.
Peace and Love,

Behind the scenes
Hi, I’m Lynn
After years in corporate America, I’ve channeled my interior design degree and passionate creativity into transforming our 1,300 square foot house into a cozy, inviting haven that proves beautiful living doesn’t require massive square footage.
My slightly OCD tendencies fuel my love for organizing while my “Handy” husband helps bring my vintage-inspired decorating visions to life in our empty nest, where we entertain, garden, and cook from scratch.
Join me as I share practical wisdom, a little humor, and professional insights for making the most of every square inch—because I’ve discovered that living large isn’t about the size of your home but how you fill it with style, function, and heart.
