Estate Sale Finds

Posted on: Jul 22, 2012        In: Out and About        With: No comments
Going to an estate sale is so much fun.  I do not see it as morbid at all.  It is exciting to see what others have collected and enjoyed throughout the years.  When I buy something from an estate sale, I feel as if I am the ultimate recycler.  I will enjoy and treasure what […]

Have you heard?  Archery is hot!  It is a big thing at this moment in time.  I think some of the current movies – Hunger Games, The Avengers, and  Brave to name a few have fueled the enthusium for archery. Number One Son found a deal at The Texas Archery Academy, and thought this might […]

Friend Marsha told me about another new restaurant in Eastside Village – that is the name of the development on the east side of Central Expressway (75) on Campbell Road.  It is called Wicked Po’ Boys, and basically it serves Wicked Cajun food.  We went to check it out, and liked it. Now you need […]

Groom, Texas

Sometimes good things come from little places.  Consider – Groom, Texas. Forty miles east of Amarillo in Groom, Texas is a 19 story (that would be 190 feet) free-standing Cross that can be seen twenty miles away on a very clear day.  It is called The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, and it was […]

Okay, I know I’m obsessing a bit.  I love the mix of antiques and high end style at Timothy Oulton.  Day one, Carolyn took me to the showroom.  Day two, I had to take Super Sister to see all the wonderfulness.   (True confession – I dragged Ever-Lovin’ along – I so wanted him to […]

No, I wasn’t invited to the Timothy Oulton grand opening gala where the rich and famous of Dallas got to preview the famous British designer’s first stand alone home furnishings gallery in the USA, but my visit earlier this week provided me with an enjoyable experience.  I liked it so much, I went back again […]

Packed and ready to head home, we did not get far down the road when we saw signs pointing to an alpaca ranch in Mora, New Mexico.  We headed down the road, and am I glad we did.  I would like to spend more time at the Victory Alpaca Ranch. From what I understand, they […]

Doors

Everywhere I looked on our trip to New Mexico, I was taken by the beautiful doors. The doors at the cabin were made in Santa Fe.  Look what a difference the nail-head trim makes.  The finish is wonderful also. I have shown you these doors before, and I think they are absolutely beautiful.  This cutout […]

How wonderful to have some more time to visit in and around Taos.  Okay, I am beginning to feel like I am forcing you to see my vacation pictures.  If you go to Taos, just know that The Mrs. knew where to take us. This is the Rio Grande Gorge about 10 miles northwest of […]

New Mexico holds a special place in my heart.  Family vacations were spent in nearby New Mexico, and as a teenager, I worked summers near Santa Fe.  Needless to say, I was excited to be going back, and even with the many changes, I wasn’t disappointed. First stop was the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis […]
