Fiona & Twig-Magnolia Pearl Ranch Photos and Clothing Giveaway

Hello readers!

I just realized I have not blogged since November! Where does the time go?

Well, do I have something fun to share with you!

My friend, Anne Lorys, from Fiona & Twig, has photographed the amazing Magnolia Pearl Ranch located in Bandera. Even more exciting is the fact that her photographs are to be used in marketing the ranch~Yes, it’s for sale!

This is just one of many fabulous photos that you will find in Anne’s post.

So, run, don’t walk, on over to her blog and check it out!

And while you’re there, be sure and read about the Magnolia Pearl clothing giveaway that Robin and John are so graciously offering.

Enjoy!!

Junk Salvation Show

This is somewhat of a follow-up to my Country Living Fair post, as this was the second junkin’ show we attended that day.

Junk Salvation was put on by the Funky Junk Sisters at the neatest location-a ghost town! J. Lorraine Ghost Town is located in Manor, Texas, just outside of Austin. After our morning shopping was finished at the Country Living Fair we headed out to our next stop.

I have to admit that we both enjoyed this show much more than the Country Living Fair. This was a great choice for a junk hunting show!  The ghost town made for a fun and festive atmosphere. Live music, authentic looking old-time buildings and lots of great vendors made the day.

Cloche love.

Isn’t this gorgeous?

This adorable little truck holds Pocket Full of Heirlooms’ business cards. She had some wonderful items!

Anne and I with Cat Daddy and Deb of Talking White Trash.

We also had a chance to meet Janie Wooten Conley from Petticoats on the Prairie.

This was a great shot to “end” our day with.

Yee haw!

Country Living Fair

Back in April, Anne and I headed off on a day trip that involved vintage trailers, lots of junk and treasures and a ghost town.

We attended the first Country Living Fair that was held in Austin. And what a fun day we had!

I’ll share more about the ghost town in another post.

I’ll just start off by saying that the walk from the parking lot to the convention arena was a lot shorter on the way in, than on the way out. It’s amazing how that happens after a morning of trekking through booths in the warm weather and hauling around goodies.

Anne also carried her 300 pound camera that she uses to shoot her amazing photos. I can vouch for that 300 pounds, as I toted it back to the car while she waited for me to drive down and pick up her and her find of the day~see that wonderful chair below the picture of her.

“S” is for Shannon…..and stuff!

This would have made a great sign in our schoolroom.

Look carefully-it appears he has some extra antlers sprouting from his long horns.

Lovely, chippy little angel.

Of course we have the obligatory creepy doll art.

We had a chance to visit with Nancy from House Wren.

And bought this fabulous rusty chicken feeder that my husband converted into a light for me. It now resides in my laundry room.

Don’t mind the guy that snuck into our picture.

A couple cute little vintage trailers….

another fabulous chair….

and an encounter with a celebrity! Me and Cari Cucksey from HGTV’s Cash and Cari.

And this just says it all….

My Sale’s Over and An Exciting Announcement

Well, I made it through my Spring Sale on Saturday and am pleased with the turn out. It was not overly crowded, but I had quite a few people and sold a good amount of stuff merchandise.

I snapped several shots of my displays right before I opened the gates, but before I show them off, I have an exciting announcement to make.

Due to the wonderful promotional post concerning my sale by my friend Anne from Fiona and Twig, I have been invited to peddle my wares at a new shop that will be opening this month in Fredericksburg! And what makes it even more fun is that Anne is going to join me in my little room there!
