HILL COUNTRY JUNKIN'


Timeless Menagerie
Fredericksburg, TX
Hey, Y'all--Nothing like a road trip to sooth the soul and refresh the mind. Cooler temps, changing seasons and lots of incredible places to visit gave us more than a few good reasons to take a mini vacation to the Texas Hill Country recently. Our first stop at Antique Queens in Rockdale, TX isn't exactly in Hill Country, but it's

always a fun place to shop.

Next, Gatherings of Georgetown -- a must-see for wonderful treasures from France and England as well

After all that shopping we had lunch and then enjoyed a drive to Mason, TX -- where there are several thrift stores, antique shops and boutiques.
