been working on and some of my recent Canton finds

outside to take pictures ~

I love to take them outside because there is about a half hour

in the day when the sun is just right ~

Well I am primping and clicking away and then

came in to download my pictures ~

AHHHHHH my camera died !! Not one of the pictures came out

and of course I had not been checking them along the way ~

I am not sure why ~

Sooooo I have really loved my Canon Rebel but I am going to

see if I can find a little camera that will take great close ups

but that will also be handy to carry with me places ~

but it would not be functional for me ~

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! is all that I can say ~ soooo.... we had a shabby and stuff yard sale today ~ it was alot of fun to get rid of things that I just was "over" ~ ya know that stuff that you couldn't live without and now it would be just fine to sell it for 10 cents or maybe for "free just please take it so I don't have to pack it back up again" stuff ~ well it was fun but I am really ready for a good relaxing bath ~ we are having it tomorrow too so I will talk to you soon!

I just wanted to show you an

idea that my daughter, Stephanie, had

and a quick tutorial on how to do it ~

She took old hymnal music and

photoshopped {to the

correct size for her paper }

a font to print on it ~

She used the Broadway font

and downloaded it for free ~

Just click on the name ~

Then we used these cute clips from

Tim Holtz ~

We clipped them to twine ~

After that she added a tattered

muslin rose with a vintage

black button in the middle ~

It came out so cute and so easy to do!!

I love it!

I LOVE going to First Monday

Trade Days in Canton Texas!

Every month it is something

I so very much look forward to ~

Even though I knew it was hot,

I left my house with a good attitude

and told myself that I would

just stand the heat because

I LOVE Junkin' !

I hit the grounds with my

trusty cart {a necessity there },

my ginormous ice tea and anticipation

of the treasures I would find ~

I drove in and saw ohhhhh maybe

5 vendors when there are usually 75 ~

But....I knew there was cool stuff

even with the 5 vendors and there

was still another HUGE area to hit ~

The next area had about half of

the usual but still some neat things!

I NEED a chicken coop and that cute

little bicycle and all the awesome

galvanized stuff, a gazillion

old keys, a stack of drawers and

birdcage ~

COOL STUFF !

Has anyone done anything awesome

with a chicken coop ~ I want to see :)

I didn't buy any of the big stuff

because I was on a mission for my

website and big stuff is expensive

as craziness to ship ~

After about 2 hours I thought

I would die of heat stroke

so I went to my most favorite

place to eat because it looks healthy,

you get free refills on ice tea

and they have a HUGE fan!!

Ohhhh and the buffalo head rocks!!

{not really, I don't like dead animals

but it is so Texas }~

After I ate I was revitalized

and ready to hit the junkin' trail for

HOURS more ~

Well I lasted about one more hour,

saw sweet Daphne and Dorothy that were fun

to chat with and decided heat stroke

was definitely setting in ~

Dang it!! I so wanted to last

for sooo much longer but

it was kind of miserably hot ~

{110 degrees and it is humid...bleh!!}

Next month I am definitely going

on Thursday so I can visit

LaurieAnna's Vintage Home,

Girls Gone Junkin and some of

my other favorite shops that aren't open

on Wednesday and have air conditioning ~

I talked to my mom, in California,

while driving home and she

told me that she was kind of chilly

because the ocean breeze was blowing

in and it didn't feel like summer

{which she loves }~

I would be loving some ocean breeze

right now :)
