Looking for Spring

 GOT GARDEN JUNK?

Spring is not that far away.

I found these candle holders on a steel rod

but the holders were wood and rotten. So, we glued some glass pieces onto the rods,

and screwed some little old alumninum coffee pots onto a few. Now we can add t-lights

for a nice effect at night to make

my herb garden glow.

I poked holes in the bottom of the

aluminum pots so they could drain

after rain.

I LOVE GARDEN JUNK!

NEW PAGES ON MY BLOG

Howdy Ya'll. Have you seen the new feature on blogger..'PAGES'? 

I Have taken advantage of this new feature

and now have a page for all my stuff, and not have other blogs to keep the pages of my musings separate.

First of all, I have a page for my designs in the form of 

e-packet painting patterns. I still have them on my

etsy store

but the price is better right here on my

blog page, because I have no fees to pay for listings.

All patterns are $5.00.

Click on the tabs at the top of my blog to go to

my other pages.

I am in the process of adding paypal buttons, but I have most

of the pictures of my designs on the new page

Let's get to painting again! I've got cabin fever!

JUNKING 1-1-11 STARTED OFF MY NEW YEAR IN MY ELEMENT!

We started off our first day of the new year frolicking

around visiting shops..first stop..Carmine,Tx.

There is this wonderful place called  

Texas Trash and Treasures,  

You have to stop and see this shop!

They have the Coolest junk and junk art and fine art you'll ever see.

This was actually on New Years Eve day..we 

ended our New Year doing what we love..junking

and 

EATING

We had lunch at J.W.'s Steak House

in Carmine,Tx.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!

Next town-Giddings.. 

We stopped by this great antique

shop called 'The Whistle Stop'..

  I Love their new location! It's 10 times

better than the old one. 

My favorite Antique Mall now.

They sell the neatest cold drinks like 

Black Cherry soda

and Orange Cream soda..and they have 

FREE POPCORN,

and they are Super Friendly.

Day Two

We had no idea where to go but we had so much fun on New Year's Eve, we had to go again on Saturday.

We headed out for one of our favorite Towns..

FAYETTEVILLE, TX.

We stumbled upon this shop  

Country Peddlers Antiques

JACK POT!

I REALLY should keep this a secret, 

but NO..I have

to go blabbing all my excitment to everyone and their dog, because I love their dogs too.

The owner of this little antique/junk shop is delightful!

She let me snap a few pics:

Good Junk, Good Antiques, The pictures tell it all. 

I was in Junk Hog Heaven!  

I can't wait to take my junk art friends

to this shop! I bought a neat old double

washtub on a stand and it has a metal top..perfect for a Kitchen Island or

to make a sink in my art room, laundry room..whatever.

In my Dream Barndominium..

It Could Happen sooner than you know..

And I found the long long long table 

I have been searching for..

I spotted the legs, then saw

the length..it's over 11 feet. This will

some day serve my family for those Christmas

dinners I can't wait to decorate up for them.

And Last stop..Orsak's Restaurant in Downtown

Fayetteville... OH MY..they make homemade

Onion Rings!

what's left of the Onion Rings... YUM!

 OH I have to mention this other place we can't wait

to go back when they are open...

but I did find a website to check it out

Industrial Country Marketplace

It's on Hwy. 71 between Ellinger,Tx. and Columbus, Tx.

What an exciting adventure...
