I spent the majority of my Spring Break trip to Texas out in the hill country in Roundtop and Warrenton at the HUGE annual antique shows out there. Three full days of digging through millionsssss of old artifacts... pretty fun. And exhausting. The weather was beautiful though (and the Texas wildflowers are INSANE this year!!!) and I found some pretty cool things. Mainly, really old and ratty stuffed animal bunnies (amazing), old trims and buttons, some cool purple glass bottles, andddd FUR! At the beginning of the trip, I told my mom my main goal was to get a scarf with a face on this trip. And the one I found has not 1 face, but FOUR! Best find ever...
Four minks (i think) including their faces, tails, and legs! All for 15 dollars!! I spent the rest of the trip looking for another one in a darker color so i could wear them all at once (for that super-whacky grandma look) but none were cheap enough. Sad day. The search has not been abandoned though....
I also fell in love with this sign, and am going to paint my own...
These people actually had tons of stuff I would have loved to have dragged back to ny with me. There was basically endless inspiration and exciting stuff to be found.
Anyways, when I wasn't freaking people out by modeling my new scarf, I was eating. Texas seriously does have the best. food. ever. I'm still trying to recover. I could probably fast til the end of the semester and still be able to survive after all that good old southern cooking....
