Thanksgiving in Texas and Weekend Finds

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family in San Angelo, Texas. 



It was the first time we had (pretty much) all been together in a couple of years, so it was lots of fun to catch up, watch football, play games, eat, and of course...shop!

I found these pretty vintage hats at MadStyle Vintage in downtown San Angelo. 

At Concho Confetti antique mall I found the sweetest shabby vintage doll dress and pretty vintage trims and buttons. 





















































Much of the trim will be going into inspiration kits and lace packs for my Etsy shop, along with some of the buttons. I haven't decided yet if I'll keep the little dress.

Except for some worries about driving home in bad weather - which turned out to not be a problem - it was a great weekend! We did come home to ice-covered trees and a few broken tree limbs...

but this Lacebark Elm has survived a couple of ice storms and hopefully will survive this one!

  1. One of these years, I really want to travel across Texas in a van or a pickup truck and stop at all the vintage shops. Or I could go to the East Coast and visit all the flea markets with a rented vehicle. Or I could just enjoy all your goodies and feel the envy and hope to get lucky at the thrift stores in Arizona. Yea, I'll stay here for now and enjoy your treasures. Glad you made it safely home.

  2. It's wonderful when a big family gathers for holidays. Steve and I were with our son's new family and had a sweet time. We looking forward to Christmas when our kids and their wife/boyfriend will join us on a family vacation.
