Mom and I are going Junkin! 
We will be getting up early tomorrow and heading to Mckinney, TX 
for the 3rd Monday trade days. 

This will be a new adventure for us, we have never gone before. 
We don't know what
to expect, but I am sure it will be fun. 

There is nothing like finding someone's trash and turning into a new 
shiny treasure. Some we keep, some we give away and the really
special ones get displayed at the retreat. 

Right now I am on the hunt for silver tea pots, creamers and sugar bowls. 
My guests will transform these
into beautiful pin cushions, embellished with flowers, head pins,
 hand dyed ribbons and jewels. 




We will also be looking for all kinds of fabrics.We use these to 
make beautiful centerpieces for our tables and our buffets. 
There is something great about finding that perfect piece
of lace that someone has thrown away. Whether it has a hole, 
a stain, or is just tired and droopy. We will tea dye it, add some sparkle and before
you know it, life has been restored. 









If any of you are headed out tomorrow, keep an eye for us! 
Stop by and leave a comment on your junkin treasures! 
Share some pictures, we would love to see the beautiful things each of you create! 

Have a GREAT weekend! 

Stacy

    1. Thanks Tracy! It took longer to drive there, than we stayed.. Not very impressed. We were there all of an hour and half to see the whole thing.. However, we went to the town square, great little area!
