Texas Trip and Treasures

We decided to take a road trip to Texas,

(because it wasn't hot enough in 

South Florida) to visit family before our

Granddaughter headed back to college.

Packed up the van and added a 

coffee filter wreath.

Brought the doggies too because they 

love road trips.

One of the treats on any Texas visit is being
there for 

Canton First Monday Market Days.  

It is supposed to be the largest flea market
in the country. The crowd is a bit lighter in the
 hot summer months. 

(mad dogs and Englishmen)

We braved the heat in the triple digits looking

 for treasures and inspiration.

I'll show my treasures in a later post.

Here are a few inspirations to try

 or file away for future projects.

J-O-Y bunting made from old book pages.

Here's an obvious container for my 

large collection of wine corks. 

I so wish I had a spot for this large

 wall-hung chicken feeder. Love it!

This one is filled with white tureens. 

Simple construction gives you custom-sized
 islands. Old thick wood tops on painted
bases. They have wheels too,
if you need to push them around. 

This one in  black. Locker baskets on
the bottom are great storage containers.

Love the red and the trim.

Basic base in yellow.

Here's where I show you the door.

Chippy vintage doors made into a

"can't find this at Pottery Barn" bookcase.

A great cabinet from old salvaged 

doors. I've always wanted to make one.

When I get home I'm going to paint my
old wood ladder something wild.

I'll have lots to keep me busy!

Welcome to Texas in August!

Cheers!.......and stay cool.
