Let me start at the beginning.... I almost talked myself out of going! I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go with me...can you believe it? But after seeing Jodie's post about her trip I was determined to go even if I had to go alone. At the last minuet I called my friend RaNae figuring that she wouldn't be able to go with only 12 hours notice.....but what I didn't know...was that in 12 hours it was her birthday...and she was looking for any excuse not to go to school! It was meant to be!
So we drove up Thursday morning...neither of us had ever been to this "Antiques Show" and didn't know exactly what to expect. We were both glad to be out of the city... and in the country, and we found out we have a lot in common. We parked at the first place we came to... not really knowing if it was good place or not...and just started looking around.
The more I looked...the more overwhelmed I got! I just kept thinking to myself...Holy Cow...there is JUST SO MUCH TO SEE!!!! There are tents of vendors as far as you can see!Of course anything sparkly catches my eye!!!
There is something for Everyone....especially someone who loves FLOWERS!!!!
She literally had drawers....... and drawers.....
And drawers............full of Buttons......it was fun to just pick up a handful and sift through them!
And I was in Lace Heaven. It is amazing that I didn't have to be drug out of there kicking and screaming!!! At least RaNae got to sit and rest....because I was in there for a while!!!
These angel wings were Amazing! Too bad they wouldn't fit in my little roller cart!
Then we found the Junk Gypsy...they were hosting the Prom Party later that night...it was the talk of the town. Too bad we were too pooped to join the party after dark.
All this shopping makes a girl hungry....we asked around and the Legal Tender Saloon was highly recommended.....mmm....they were right!

And in case you need one.......you can rent one.....;) Men available to carry heavy items to your car!
By the end of the day I was exhausted....my poor feet! When I looked down and saw how filthy and swollen they were I knew it was time to call it a day! We defiantly covered a lot of ground...and we still had to walk allllll the way back to the car. The piggies were a squealin'....the dogies were a barkin' and in serious need of a pedicure!!!!!!!

We only scratched the surface......so I can't wait till the spring show....I am hooked! Next time I plan to stay for a couple of days....and try to actually make it up to Round Top!
