5 weeks and counting.....

Ok so that big race in San Antonio is coming up in 3 weeks and I have a ton to do beforehand, But..........


all I can think about is ROUNDTOP ANTIQUES WEEK!






A few photos I took at the Spring 2010 show: I am not sure where the first one is from, but I absolutely love it. The second is from Texas Rose and the third of course is Royers Cafe.

I only spent a few days there in the Spring, and did not see near as much as I wanted to.
So this time I will be spending at least a week and taking in alot more. I will be staying with one of my 'BLOGLAND' friends, attending a blog party and the Junk Gypsies Prom for sure. {I meet some great folks at Zapp Hall last year. "Stackin em deep and sellin em cheap" Kirk for one.}
Eating some Royers Cafe pie and drinking some margaritas is definately on the agenda.

And going to the Marburger Farms show, is a must!

I can't wait to get there, heck i'm already picking out my "outfits".

So I hope to see some familiar faces and meet lots of new folks.....SEE YOU THERE!

Livin'....life

I have been very busy the last few weeks. Besides being a hopeless junker, (and bringing home a truck load of "stuff" everytime I come home from a road trip) I also work for motorcycle drag racing teams and am a promotor. I have a huge race coming up in September in San Antonio, TX. I have been working on this race since last November.



My Hubby and I travel the country with our race teams from Feburary through October. We go to some great places and occasionally I get to make a few stops along the way to look for "junk", but not as much as I would like too.

The Spring Round Top fell during a time that there was no race, so I went for a few days with a friend of mine from Louisiana. I had a great time.

I GOT THE BUG!

The Hubby and I have been working on projects in hopes of being able to go and sell at the Fall show. I will definately go, only if it is to "look for more ideas". That is code for 'shop and try to hide it from Hubby" .....HAHAHA!

I have also been in constant contact with the Hubby's sister, who lives on the FAMILY's CENTURY OLD DAIRY FARM in Northern Minnesota.

Times are tough and the "working" farm has come to a hault.

Last Sunday and Monday all of the cows went to the sale barn.

Even though I hadn't spent much time there, I am heartbroken. I know that more animals can be purchased at a later date, but when I got an email with pictures of the kids favorite cows, I lost it.




That is DOLLY, ANGEL and GYPSY.{top to bottom.}

So I have been a bit emotional lately and the Hubby thinks i'm crazy.
I'm the "city girl" {in his opinion} with no concept of "REAL farm living".

But, I have been trying to keep up with the more that 125 blogs that I follow. I am sure that it takes up more of my time than it really needs to, but it is my outlet. They are all done so beautifully and inspire me to create more.
So for that I want to thank you all.

Tomorrow, WE are off to North Carolina for a few days {going to one of the race shops} and then to Bristol, TN for our race this weekend. I love, love, love this part of our great country! Hopefully, I will be reuniting with an old high school friend, {you know the kind that you don't talk to or see for 20 years and it's like you just saw them yesterday} and doing a little JUNKING!

So, I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I will catch up with you soon.
