It's Not Just About The Junk...
Sunday, August 2, 2009
Dreaming. Setting Goals. Accomplishing. Smile...
Well, here she is, filled to the brim with handmade pillows. I really do love this shabby chair...
So, in case you've been wondering what I've been up to this summer down here in French Lique...
PS... my first sale occurred on Saturday... one of my sister's beautiful handmade aprons... I've always told her they'd sell like hotcakes! Thanks Lili... I love you a bunch... more fabric will be on it's way soon!
PSS... for those of you that would like to come by, Geronimo only has one main road... State Highway 123... and the Blue Hills Mall is on the main drag... come on by! Blue Hills is open every day except Wednesday 10-5, and Sunday 1-5... It's big... bring you walking shoes... and they take cash, checks and plastic!
PSSS.... Pink price tags?! Is there another color?!

Junkin' with Candy and Terry in Geronimo...
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...
