A Peek At Texas Antiques Week

You all know how I just love secondhand shopping.

Well, last weekend, my hubby took me someplace I'd never been before. . . 

Texas Antiques Week at Round Top.

We had a great time. 

Take a look . . .

These welding hats were turned into lights!

How awesomely creative is that?

We saw so many car fronts- and by that I mean actual fronts off of cars.

After this trip, I've decided that a Volkswagen hood would look pretty cute on my fireplace mantle:)

The tents went on forever.

I can't tell you how many miles were covered with booths.

I love spools in all sizes.

When I see lots of one item like this, I think, "Man, I'd like to go wherever they went to find all this!"

The booths were full of all kinds of miscellany.

There's a Volkswagen trunk- it's even a good color:)

I love seeing how the vendors display their goods.

How great would it have been to bring home that blue workbench?

Love these drawers.
If you gave me a bit, I could figure out a use for them:)

I was so glad that we got to go.
I'm so blessed to have a hubby who enjoys secondhand shopping with me!

This was an awesome show. We saw all kinds of treasures.
The only drawback I noticed was the prices. I felt many were on the high side.
I guess since they were part of an antique show they thought they could charge antique prices?

Come by this Thursday to see what I bought.

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; 

whom shall I fear?

Take a Tour Around Yeya's Antiques and Oddities

If you've stopped by around here for any length of time, 

I'm sure you've gathered that I am a lover of junk.

Besides thrift stores and estate sales,

 sometimes it's hard to find a place that is full of good, old junk.

Well, have I got a place to share with you. . .

It's called Yeya's Antiques and Oddities in San Antonio.

My hubby and I stopped in there last week.

Take a look at some of what we saw. . .

giant letters,

vintage military ammo cans,

this awesome metal shelf,

huge casters,

all these rolling carts,

gauges,

and tables full of stuff.

The yard and two buildings were full.
We took our time looking, and I'm sure we didn't see it all.

The day that we stopped at the store, it was actually closed..
I called the owner and when he saw on caller ID that we were from the Houston area,
he decided to open it up so we could look.
Can you believe that?
What excellent customer service.
If you're ever in the San Antonio area and are up for some vintage stopping, you'll want to stop here.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Judge not, that you be not judged.
