Candy bought lunch for us all at a local San Marcos eatery that Terry recommended... while we ate wonderful chicken salad sandwiches Candy entertained with stories from her childhood; being locked in a closet by an elementary school teacher because she was talking too much... imagine that!
and then later... Terry treated us to dessert at a pie shop in Kyle... we were hungry (again) from our thrift shop excursion... 
Camera shy Terry brought gifts for both Candy and me...
A sweet book of thoughts... the package so pretty I hated to open it...
and Candy gave me homemade wild grape jam... and a bottle of wine... custom labeled...
If you look closely you'll see my profile photo screened beneath the words...
"Aged to Perfection"... thank you sweet friend...
My thrifting finds... An adorable little garden hat, which I'll add new ribbon and silk roses to before putting it in my booth in Geronimo... 
A little Eiffel Tower Souvenir that Candy spotted for me...
...this funny set of Fractured French coasters(or ash trays... but they are coasters to me)...
and a pretty framed print..
of Le Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Paris...
A set of 4 pretty Italian styled napkin rings...
A stack of old books from the resale book shop... total cost... $1.50...
A sweet girl with her pets... this art piece made by Terry... from their booth in Wimberley...
One of Candy's wonderful pin cushions, also from their booth... 
A bunch of old silver... only $1 each.. I'll clean them up and see what happens... I do have something in mind...
A mighty fine stack of junk... errr.. treasure... from a wonderful day of thrifting shopping with two of the sweetest gals in Texas... Thanks Candy and Terry... you made my day!

Love all your gifts, but especially the wine bottle with your "I dream of Jeanie" eyes on there! That logo is what I thought of when I saw the photo.

Well Hey Dixie!
Glad you stopped by and it's so nice to meet you. I guess I could call you my neighbor sort of...you are only about 6 hours from me here in Louisiana.
My sister lived in New Braunfels...that area is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Dixie, This looks like a wonderful birthday celebration. A belated happy birthday to you. You found some fabulous thrift. If I went thrifting with you, I'm afraid I'd be fighting you for the same treasures! That framed print is so pretty, and I love the little girl picture. laurie
