A week or so ago, I put together a whole bunch of outdoor furniture for the backyard patio. The seating group on the right came with the solid blue cushions seen in this photo below.

I hope you’re having a great one! Today I’m sharing some of my favorites from the month of June and a recent discovery that has been such a great find!
