Yesterday from ABC or from ABC yesterday
I am going to make up two similar examples below.
(1) I bought a beautiful vase from ABC yesterday.
(2) I bought a beautiful vase yesterday from ABC.
Some of my non-native English speaking friends think the order in which you arrange the green words does not matter. It depends on what you want to emphasize. I agree with them that both sequences are grammatically correct. What is your opinion? Thank you for your help.
