I LOVE going to First Monday
Trade Days in Canton Texas!
Every month it is something
I so very much look forward to ~
Even though I knew it was hot,
I left my house with a good attitude
and told myself that I would
just stand the heat because
I LOVE Junkin' !
I hit the grounds with my
trusty cart {a necessity there },
my ginormous ice tea and anticipation
of the treasures I would find ~
I drove in and saw ohhhhh maybe
5 vendors when there are usually 75 ~
But...I knew there was cool stuff
even with the 5 vendors and there
was still another HUGE area to hit ~
The next area had about half of
the usual but still some neat things!
I NEED a chicken coop and that cute
little bicycle and all the awesome
galvanized stuff, a gazillion
old keys, a stack of drawers and
birdcage ~
COOL STUFF !
Has anyone done anything awesome
with a chicken coop ~ I want to see :)
I didn't buy any of the big stuff
because I was on a mission for my
website and big stuff is expensive
as craziness to ship ~
After about 2 hours I thought
I would die of heat stroke
so I went to my most favorite
place to eat because it looks healthy,
you get free refills on ice tea
and they have a HUGE fan!!
Ohhhh and the buffalo head rocks!!
{not really, I don't like dead animals
but it is so Texas }~
After I ate I was revitalized
and ready to hit the junkin' trail for
HOURS more ~
Well I lasted about one more hour,
saw sweet Daphne and Dorothy that were fun
to chat with and decided heat stroke
was definitely setting in ~
Dang it!! I so wanted to last
for sooo much longer but
it was kind of miserably hot ~
{110 degrees and it is humid...bleh!!}
Next month I am definitely going
on Thursday so I can visit
LaurieAnna's Vintage Home,
Girls Gone Junkin and some of
my other favorite shops that aren't open
on Wednesday and have air conditioning ~
I talked to my mom, in California,
while driving home and she
told me that she was kind of chilly
because the ocean breeze was blowing
in and it didn't feel like summer
{which she loves }~
I would be loving some ocean breeze
right now :)
