go see and hear about her fun time!

and now in my 50th year, I do declare, that girl trips turn better with age, seasoned well with laughter, as we licked the frosting on the cake,  flavored junkalisciously...
                                                                                        with Rusty, Chippy sprinkles on top...
                                                                                                                                my favorite~

Spring in Round Top!  Rusty tub and colorful chairs...

Debbie of Talking Trash, one of the best bloggers EVER...and her Cat Daddy...said he wore the rope 'round his neck...'case he felt like buying something, he'd choke himself, lol. They are just very genuine  folks with wonderful wares...beautifully displayed.  They've been at this a long time and are so generous to share their wisdom...

A new friend...Sporting her Magnolia Pearl vest...She was set up at Chelsea's Meadow...


more loviliness...

Meloney and Me!

 

The Seed Box was right at the top of my List ~ And Meloney and Brian did not disappoint!  

They were set up right by Royers Cafe at Zapp Hall. I turned around, from eating my yummy chicken salad and I saw this...

and almost choked, I knew it was The Seed Box, right off, with their signature style....Oh my Goodness!

She is so pretty and seemed so sweet and of course Mega talented...

Go to their Blog to see more! Debra does their blog and she does a great job!

I do have some Missouri Friends

The first tents I spotted at Zapp Hall in Warrenton were my friends, Mindy and Robelyn...and it felt so good to see some familiar faces....Look how awesome they had done up their places...and the stuff inside was so enticin'~ we had to do a little shoppin'!    My camera went kapooey, on the way to Round Top,so I am having to borrow all my pics,  here is a good link, David is a fab photographer, and I'm sure he will be adding more as the week goes on.

I bought the globe, that I passed up at Mindy's last time...but forgot to bring it home, with all the blog party excitement...But that is ok, just another good excuse to go see Mindy again and do a little more shoppin'!


Last, but certainly not least, I got to visit with uber talented, yet humble Margo again, AND Meet live for the very first time, MY TAMARAH!!!!! of Shabby Vintage Junk... All the way from Australia. She is just as vivacious in Real Life, as she comes across in blog land...and the cool thing is, we meet up over a pile of junk, just by pure chance...I might not have recognized her, if I hadn't just posted those u-tube videos of her...it was a neat meant to be moment!

Debbie, Tamarah, Lezlee, Rho, and Margo at Theresa's bog party!  Thanks for taking the pic, Lisa.

There were some other bloggers there...I had visited their blogs but---

now that I've met them and exchanged cards I'm heading to visit some more!

Hey,                   Are you inspired to start making plans for Fall or Spring!??

So thrilled to have my Coke Bench Story featured on Donna's Funky Junk Blog sidebar, go visit her and help name her new decor style book, in the works!

And I loved being featured on  Holly's Tickled Pink Party, such a fun party, anything that tickles you pink...how sweet is that! She was tickled over my little table and chairs, because they remind her of the set she still has from childhood.

I have a couple of other exciting irons on the fire, but more on that later, gotta go pack,
YEE HAW!!!!!

Funky Junk's Bench Party

The first time we lived in Japan...
            I yearned for one of  their Coca cola bus benches,
                                                                               placed at  each stop...

              years later when we moved back, to Japan,  

I noticed, for the most part the benches had been replaced...THEN

I spied one down the street, on the base, in someone's backyard, keeping an eye on it, longingly...Until one special day, it was placed out front for trash pick-up!  I asked the kids playing in the yard, and they confirmed, that yes indeedy, it was trash...they were moving...and had to meet the shipping weight requirements

 

 
 

...so, right then and there, I crammed it in my car, not wanting anyone else to take my present, because that special day was  my birthday!   

 Really, honestly! So, I whipered, "Thank You Jesus" and went on my Happy Birthday  way...I've shared, how  I love it when  these little treasures come down from above and I know so many of you agree, testifying  with your own sweet stories, to the truth of a personal, loving God...

You can bet this baby made the weight limit this time around.
Imagine the "prior lives" stories this bench might tell...maybe even a Forrest Gump-like tale, only this time in Japanese!

So, when I saw Donna's tiny coke bench and realized the topic was benches, I ran outside to snap some shots, quickly, before the sun went down... lovin' the flowers and trees that are beginning to bloom. Aren't You?!

Joining the party at Funky Junk Interiors, hop on over, it is always great!
