Inspirational Journey!

Double trouble! Amy and Deb...
After Amy and I got back from Deb Taylor's workshop, I have been totally inspired! It was no junkin' journey! It was more like getting in touch with your innerself.

After attending a retirement seminar at work, it hit me that I'm on my way out of this ole' world and better start having fun! In my younger day, I loved art classes, drawing, painting...

After the trip, I decided to get into my "creative side." Here's what I've been doing...
It took a week to put this little table together! I'll take pics of the workshop when I get through with it. The grandkids will love it! They love to "create" and will be in heaven!

An old frame with vintage pics of my dad's family ...
Amy gave me the "T" as a Christmas present. I changed the ribbon and hung it in a vintage frame. I was going to paint the frame white, but decided I liked the dark vintage look! Can change later...
Shawna helped me move rooms around! We moved the white bed into the guest room, brass bed in the back room, bookcase into the "workshop." I decided I was too old to do all this moving stuff.

LoneStar Antiques!

I could not wait to go to LoneStar Antiques today! I just wanted to push all the cars out of my way! I could not get there fast enough! Last week I saw this cute little suitcase and didn't buy it. I thought about it all week and decided if it was still there it was meant to be! The first thing I did when I got to LoneStar was to try to find this little suitcase in this huge store.

Oh my goodness! I found it! I looked up to see who's booth it was and it said "Bountiful." I had just read about this booth on Dream in Cream's blog.

Here it is in Bountiful's booth!

Here it is in my guest bathroom!
Is that not adorable!

So, after I grabbed the suitcase I headed for Dream in Cream's booth! The cute silverplated dish in the suitcase is from her booth.

I had so much fun taking pictures! I love my silverplated dish! I have my eye on a few other items! I'll be back! I was even intrigued with the walls! Tiina, you so creative! Amy...you are really GOING TO WISH YOU WERE HERE after you see these!!!

Essentials for Junkin' Journey!

Before you leave the house, you'll need cash, credit card, and a camera! You never know where you'll end up! I was on my lunch hour running errands and saw a garage sale. I never have any cash, but use the heck out of my charge card! That's when I decided you should always have cash in your wallet! You never know when you'll find treasures!

The camera is for fun! You never know what you might see. A few weeks ago, I saw a man riding his horse on the grassy part between the service road and I35! Only in Texas! It would have made the coolest picture. You could see the cars in the background.

Essentials for Round Top! You'll need a cart, liner or laundry bag for your cart, waterproof boots, bottled water, and cash! Lots of cash!

For a good laugh I put a flag on my cart so when I got lost, Amy could find me! I did wave it a few times! You will also need Deb Taylor at Heritage Haus! Great place to stay and you can read about her on Vintage Mom's blog!
