Final Pictures of our Recent Shopping (Junkin') Trips

Brace yourselves...I've got about 5 or 6 posts in a row coming with pictures of our shopping trips to Weatherford, Decatur and Granbury. It's quite a few pictures to look at. Hope you get through them without your eyes going all crossed! (You can click on the pictures to enlarge.) These next 5 pictures were all taken in Weatherford.I forget what this thing was called, but I thought it was pretty. I knew I should have written down what it said on the tag. I can't remember anything these days...
This picture was taken at the rear entrance to Main Street Mercantile. They have a bunch of stuff just sitting around out there (wagon wheels, old metal lawn furniture, etc.). That's Randey and his mom, Donna, digging through it all.
These next 3 pictures were of furniture that was in the "attic" of a store. Can't remember the name of the store (what a shock, huh?). You know, maybe I should just start taking a picture of every door before I go into a store...maybe then I could tell you the names of these places. Anyway, I thought this chair was a little unusual and kind of cool.
This stuff looked awesome in person. A little beat up, but awesome.
I wanted these. I mean I really, really wanted these. But A) we didn't have the truck with us and B) I honestly couldn't turn loose of almost $400 for furniture I'd never sit on because it'd be outside in the hot baking Texas sun, which is a place I have no desire to be. Although, come to think of it...I could see me lounging outside in one of these come February, when the air outside is a tad more tolerable! Hmmmm. Something to think about....

  2. I really didn't think I had missed so many days worth of blogging but I just spent 20 minutes catching up on your blog so I must have! Wow - what a fabulous selection of Kari posts - photos, humour, truths and a decent slice of wackiness! Go girl - by the way I had a lovely time. Obviously I need to find those napkins too!!

  6. Love all these pictures! But I'm getting kind of envious, because I never see neat junky shops like this out here! (Maybe they're in the areas I avoid like the plague?)

  8. You wanna come shopping for me? I have no clue how to shop for cool things. My house is a barren waste land crying out for a decorative touch. I envy people who can walk into an antique shop and look at something old and ugly, bring it home and make it look really nice.

  9. Hey there! First of all ..yes it was me who asked were Granbury was, so thank you for the location. I have a brother that lives in Fort Worth, so I need to stop by Granbury the next time I head in that direction! Secondly..how in the world can you go through all these cool towns and great stores and not be totally broke??? I would not only be broke, but have my cc card maxed out too..ha hah..and then probably have to come back and put it all in storage!

    That is my cute way of saying that the marriage resolve thing is not going so well and now you know why I have had to use either old pictures of mine or create new blogging ideas instead of posting things about the farm :0(

    Anywho - Blogging is a great way to keep my head up and a smile on my face - so I have something really cool planned for next week ..as I hinted about before!

  11. I'm visiting from TaunaLen's because I was so impressed by your parenting advise. Now I'm even more impressed by all your yummy eye candy!

  12. I came to thank you for such awesome parenting advise in my time of need, but Susan beat me to it! I have to tell you I think I love you! In a purely platonic, sisterly, shared-motherhood-of-teenagers sort of way, of course. I laughed so hard at your parenting advice, then I had to call my mom, and share it with her. I SO NEEDED to laugh about this week. It was like a lifeline to a drowning woman. You, my new friend, are brilliant, and funny, and brilliantly funny! Thanks so much.

    AND.

    I wish I could go junking with you, I'd come home with so many treasures my husband would threaten to hold a garage sale. I love your finds!
