Junkin' with Candy and Terry in Geronimo...

There is absolutely no one more fun to go "Junkin'" with than Candy. Candy and I can look at the exact same object and see something different. We rarely reach for the same item... and if we do... we're probably thinking opposite thoughts... Just the right kind of friend to have along on a shopping day in Geronimo, Texas.

and if she brings along her good friend Terry, that's even better! I adore both of them so much... today... I even took them to one of my favorite places that I never tell anyone about... but more about that later... here are Candy and Terry, browsing a booth at Blue Hills Antique Mall... Terry found these beautiful little yellow bird plates for only $2 each. They matched one she already had hanging in her entry way... and the great thing was... they were also 30% off so $1.60 each! What a bargain! Loved this book... made me think of Scrappy Doo! We all loved what they did with this chandy... I adore the teacups hanging with gossamer ribbons from the chandy arms... how cute is that!and what a cute idea in the same booth... a few vintage aprons hung with clothes pins across a window as a valance... adorable!

Hey, Patty Cakes... you made the big time!

Now... to my favorite little secret shopping place... A tiny little shop, in a tiny little house, in the tiny little town of Geronimo... it's name...

Glory B's Cottage

This was her decorated chandy in the main room of the shop... there are only 3 rooms and a hallway... filled to the brim with treasures... I love vintage wedding dresses... this one displayed in a room full of pink and white treasures... We loved this unique idea... a vintage baby shoe suspended in the center of and old shabby picture frame... I'd have never thought of that! and then Candy spied this rustic treasure... A huge, rusty, chippy birdcage!
I think she paid $12. We nearly fell over when Beverly, the owner, told us the price! This is the perfect thing for Candy's porch... or will it go under a tree?

If I know Candy, she'll find something wonderful to do with it. After an exhausting 3 1/2 hours of junkin' in 100 degree heat... we went to Chili's in Seguin, Texas... for some lunch... and a gift from Candy! I love gifts! She said the vintage dolls on the bag reminded her of a photo from shopping in Wimberley, on my black and white blog... A wonderful smelling Blackberry Vanilla lotion... and a beautiful scarf from our favorite thrift store... Twice Blessed... in San Marcos... Thank you Candy! You know I love it! Ahhhhhh... and now... refreshing margaritas at Chili's... and great reminiscing of the treasures that we saw... and the friendship that we share...

A good day was had by all... down here in French Lique...

ps... if you want to see what I actually bought in Geronimo... you'll have to come back tomorrow... see ya then...
