Wimberley Market Days

I am so glad that we decided to make this trip to Wimberley. It was me, Susan, Debbie, and her daughter Amber. It's fun to have some quality "girl time". I wish I had thought to get someone to take a picture of the 4 of us. It was a miracle that I got the pictures that I did.

The first thing we had to do was to hit the Starbucks. My favorite is the Cinnamon Dolce Latte. I easily could have had two of them; they are so good!

On the way, we took a wrong turn. Actually, it was more like we didn't turn when we were suppose to. We turned around, and in no time, we got ourselves parked and ready to do some serious shopping. We were so giddy!

I had my cart full to the top in less than an hour. I hauled that load out to the van and started filling it up again. I hadn't been to Wimberley in 3 or 4 years and it was so nice to be there again - especially with friends. The weather was perfect . . .

. . . and the food was FABULOUS!
This is a sampling of the loot that I scored. I found two old street signs, 2 locker baskets, 2 mirror harps, a whole bunch of picture frames, some nice enamel bowls, and many more little "treasures". I also found a cute pink shelf. This shelf would make a nice towel rack for the bathroom. I couldn't resist the little tea sets. They are so dainty. Would you like one lump or two? I also found a stained glass window that had a couple of broken pieces in it, but I think for $2, it would look lovely in the garden.

Before we headed back home, we stopped in Wimberley to check out the local shops and get a Blue Bell ice cream cone. Yep. Life is GOOD!!

On the road again

I'll be on the road again. This time, I will be shopping with a couple of friends of mine. We are heading up to Wimberley tomorrow.

In my last post, I said that no self-respecting junker could go shopping without a tricked-out shopping cart. Well, I closed my eyes and made my first cut in the vintage tablecloth (it's okay, it had a couple of holes in it). I took one of those plastic tablecloths, cut it to size, then sewed my vintage one directly to the back of it.
I attached a carpenter's apron to the back of the cart for drinks and snacks. I picked this one up at the ARK sale last weekend. They sell them at Lowe's, etc for under $1. I think all I need now is my sunscreen, some $$, and some comfortable shoes . . .
