Shooting from the I-Phone...

I'm so sorry... Candy forgot her camera... I left mine in the car... my daughter, Katie, snapped this photo with her I-Phone at Twice Blessed, of me... Dixie on the left... Candy (eating blow-pop) in the middle and our friend-girl Terry on the right...

I wish I could tell you in words just how much fun these two gals are... witty, funny... artistic and creative.... all wrapped up in a pretty friendship bow!

and this one for you Theresa Cano... I told you what I wanted to do with those S-E-A-R-S letters in the Curious Boys booth at Blue Hills... I did it... I didn't realize until my daughter emailed me the photo... that my A-S-S had arms!  Oh my gosh!  Hysterical...

Just wait until you see the AMAZING things I found today!... Can hardly wait to share... but I just gotta take some photos first!!

 I adore these gals... down here in French Lique!

Planning and Thrifting...

Today, I'm off to San Marcos for a planning lunch with Candy (Rock Candy) and friend Terry... we're planning a trip to Round Top/Marburger Farm/Zapp Hall in the fall... We've rented a little cottage for a few nights.. and we're finally going to go together and be at Theresa's Blog Party on Sunday night... and we've even got an invite to Cat Daddy's birthday bash... 

so like the good little Girl Scouts (former) that we are... we're planning... what to bring with us... when to arrive... where we'll start and where we'll end up... 

What a fun it will be!!

and of course no visit with Candy can happen without a little Thrifty shopping!  Terry has found a new place... Terry can ferret out the most wonderful Thrift Shops...

but... first... we'll be meeting up at the best little Thrift shop in San Marcos... Twice Blessed... where I never fail to find something wonderful...

So have a Twice Blessed Friday and whole weekend long... stay cool... and find something special... I know we will... down here in French Lique..

I'm more of a distraction than anything else....

Back in early February... Candy and Terry (along with my sister from Mississippi, Lili) came to Geronimo to help me move my booth from the back to the front... here's that story... The Fairies of French Lique... and I remind you of this because...

just this past Friday... two of the fairies... Candy and Terry... were doing a little work in their own booth near Wimberley, Texas... My sister, here again from Mississippi..., and I decided to go and visit Candy and Terry and uh... help? Well, as it turns out... I'm more of a distraction than anything else... after our arrival... they worked for another half hour and then I talked them into quitting and running off to Wimberley for some serious sisterhood style shopping with Lili and me...

I forgot to take photos until we got to Brocante... I just loved these bottles... and the photo of the flapper in the cloche (background)...

Terry loved this debutante gown draped over a wicker chair... she's been wondering what to do with an old gown she has for sale... and now... she knows...

This fabulous piece of art reminded me of the beautiful creations of Miss Rock Candy herself...

but this... oh my... was the Pièce de résistance ...
I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful piece of art... from head...

to toe... Magnifique!
the price... $1800...
probably worth every penny...
but way-way over my current frivolous art budget...

after ooooohhhhing and aaaahhhhhhing... and walking around for about 2-hours... (yes of course I bought something.. but that's for later)...
we decided to stop and get a little Texas Iced Tea...

yes... it is true... I'm more of a distraction than anything else...
but Candy, Terry, Lili and I...
always seem to have a really good time... no matter where we go or what we do...

Lunching with Candy and Terry in San Marcos, Texas

When meeting Candy and Terry for lunch in San Marcos, Texas today... Candy had told me... "We'll be on the town square... wearing hats"...

Well look! Isn't that two lovely ladies wearing hats right across the street there! Yep... that's them. (click on the photo for a close up of Candy's hat... it was a hoot!)

What a pleasure it was to meet them both. Candy is just as enchanting as you might think if you read her blog... and Terry... the most delightful sidekick... I found two precious new friends today. Thank you girls... see you soon for Saturday Trade Days in Wimberley...

Blessings from Dixie... down here in French Lique...

and a little hint about "Looking for Lahoma"... Lahoma has been found and I'll be posting the story and hopefully a photo of dear Lahoma this weekend.
