FOR THE LOVE OF JUNK

SOME WOMEN DREAM OF BEAUTIFUL HOMES AND PERFECTION. SOME DREAM OF THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, OUTCAST ITEMS, THE TATTERED, THE CRAZED, THE RUSTED AND SOMETIMES DISCARDED TREASURES. IM A MEMBER OF THE SECOND GROUP. I'M A JUNKER FOR LIFE!

Awesome shops in Rogers, TX

For a couple of years now I will pass this shops in my way to the big show in Roundtop, TX. The Cottage and Veranda Bloom did not disappoint. The shops are owned and run by a very talented mom and daughter. The space next door to the Cottage belongs to them too and I was so fortunate to have a pick at it. I can see the potential, lots of architectural details and I believe this two ladies and their helpers can do magic. They also have a green thumb, the garden at Veranda Bloom is so beautiful and believe me pretty gardens in Central Texas are hard to maintain. The Cottage is a shabby chic store, which is so close to my personal taste. Veranda Bloom is just as gorgeous and if you like tuscan and french style you will love it. If you ever in this area pay this ladies a visit, you will be glad you did.

I,m baaaaccckkk!

  It feels like I have been gone forever. First, I could not find my camera, the family baby have been in the hospital twice this month and my dear mom have been dealing with extreme pain in her back and arm. She will be going to therapy twice a week for the next 2 months and I'm her ride. So, busy, busy. That have not kept me from shopping like a maniac at all the fabulous Texas shows. The shop is busting out the seams and  I see a big sale coming up soon, that is, before you can't stand to be outside in the Texas heat. I got a million pictures in this post so bear with me. 










     My precious little dolls, I have mention before I love this kind, I found 5 in less than a month.

























    Love bears, I have a project in mind for the ones I own. I will show you when I get it done.

                                       I love how the table escape turn out in this table tray.








                                                                 Such a dandy....


                                    This two doll heads I bought in Roundtop. I pay a lot for them but I love their
                                                        faces.

                                 That is all folks. Till next one if I get a breather. I'm linking to Ms Kathleen from Faded Charm for her White Wednesday party. Blessings, Marta.
