Texas Tuesday during Antique Week

Texas Tuesday

Check out this site to learn more about Texas Antique Weekend!

Though I didn't take home the lovely blue/purple iridescent piece - it is one of my favorite colors - I did bring back four lovely green glass items {including the green lamp that you can barely make out in the background}.

Twice a year, I make a trek to Warrenton.  I know I should go more often because my mother grew up in this area, but I make a point to walk the fields each March/April and September/October.  I have a "usual" parking spot and typically only see a small stretch of road but it is the same stretch each year.  I get a chance to make friends with the vendors {repeat business} and find the booth I'm looking for much more easily than if I walked the whole darn thing.  ;)  I know that I'm missing bunches but oh the treasures I find.  :::swoon:::

My birthday is in early April and going to Warrenton is the best birthday gift ever - especially with a bit of play money.  ;)

rustic vintage wedding chair idea

How cool would it be to have all of your wedding guests sitting in a mix match of antique chairs?  Oh how I wish that we could afford to do it.  The photos would be awesome!  We would probably  need to have pillows or blankets available to keep rust from adhering itself to everyone's clothes.  Either that or shellac-ing each and every chair!  Which would completely change the vibe.
