I remember when Castle Gap Jewelry Company was in Lake Highlands. For years and years and year and years, I have said I wanted to visit the store at Preston Center, but I never did. The Mrs. (my dear sweet friend who has the cabin in New Mexico), had often mentioned that Castle Gap had […]
Doncha just love a bargain? Thrift stores, consignment stores, estate sales, discount stores, and clearances-out items can give me a thrill. Shopping is entertainment. If you ask me, it is a respectable hobby. You have fun. You go home with a prize, and you have stimulated the economy. Here are some interesting things I have […]
Sweet Mother of Pearl. I finally bought pillows. This is how it began. I needed new pillows for my sofa. Not that I did not like the look of the pillows that came with the sofa, but I did not like the feathers inside the pillows. Understand?? Feathers in pillows may sound soft and wonderful, […]
Getting to go to Fort Worth is exciting. Getting to go to Forth Worth and visit with my dear friend Jorene is fantastic. We talk and talk and never tire of talking. On this day, we shopped Old Home Supply House – “Fort Worth’s Restoration Headquarters”. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I love this place. Old Home […]
I know you know that First Monday Trades Days in Canton are not on Monday. This giant flea market is held the weekend before the first Monday of each month. You can go as early as midday on Thursday. My friend Nancy from Brentfield wanted to go to Canton last weekend. Since she teaches, she […]

While driving down Highway 287 towards home, we came to the little town of Chillicothe, Texas. As we entered we were aghast. I think it was Betty that said, “I think Chilllcothe has seen better days.” The buildings were boarded up, and there was little sign of life. As we got further into the town, […]
As Ever-Lovin’ said, ” You know you’re a redneck when – you go the the gas station to buy your shoes.” Some of our favorite restaurants are housed in gas stations, but I have never shopped for shoes at a gas station until now. (Sorry about the West Texas dust on the shoes. I tried […]
It all began when Nephew Garrett told Super Sister that there was a place she HAD to go. It was “definitely her kind of place.” It is called The Frisco Mercantile. Of course, it was closed when we drove by. We are so good at visiting closed stores. Super Sister had to go home (boo-hoo), […]
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 […]
