SUMMER JUNKIN' ADVENTURES

 

 

Hey, Y'all! It's summertime and the JuNkIn' is easy...well, most of the time anyway! After our son and daughter-in-law's wedding in May, Sweet Hubby and I hit the road and headed WeSt to

Fredericksburg, TX. It's a lovely drive and we've had so much rain this past spring that the wildflowers are gorgeous!

There are many great shops and restaurants there

Luckenbach, TX

and always lots of good places to go junkin' even when it's not Trades Days weekend. I always stop by

Skye and Henry's

Skye and Henry's, Timeless Menagerie, Smitten, and

The Attic. In addition, there are numerous thrift shops in town worthy of checking out. Also, don't forget to check the local listings for garage sales or estate sales -- I scored an old quilt and an amateur bluebonnet painting at an early Friday morning

garage sale for less than a trip through the car wash! That's something definitely worth getting up for.

Until next time,

Peace, love, and

all the good stuff

HILL COUNTRY JUNKIN'

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.
