So what came home with me?

We all agreed on our trip to Round Top that it was more about the conversations and just hanging out together.  But, I did bring a few little treasures home with me.  

Two things were on my list a metal stool for outside by hubbies potting bench.

Can you believe the one above was at the very first booth we stopped at.  Marked $40.00, I asked if they would take $30.00.  Mine.  It is even better in person.

I call these my Americana moments.  Rusty wonderful metal case, the price on the tag was all faded out, so I knew he had had it for a while. I think it said $15.00, he said he could do $13.00, I asked how about $10.00.  Mine.

I think the case will be fun filled with coke and ice on the fourth of July.  The red little metal chair I can see stacked with Christmas presents by the tree, outside with a plant on top, front porch little chair or maybe in the kitchen with tea towels hanging from her arms.  This had no price, I could see top dollar because we were in a real industrial part of Warrenton.  When I asked the guy how much, he said "for that expensive chair",  I knew then I wouldn't be taking her home.  But, when he said $10.00... Mine.

These are really tiny, I guess finger bowls. One is cracked and I will use it as a business card holder at work.  He wanted $20.00 for all three, but with the cracked one he said he would take $15.00.  Mine.

Not on my list, but I have wanted angle wings for some time. I think I may white wash them before hanging them on a wall inside the house.

This was my final purchase of the trip.   I wanted you to see a close up of this plant holder.  See the middle section, it is the side cap from an aisle seat at a New York Theatre.  At least that is the story I was told and I was sold.

Stay tuned... I bought my first can of Annie Sloan chalk paint. CoCo !
The booth owner told me I had to have the newest thing out the plastic pour spout sealer thingy.

Next up more on Chalk Paint and tips.  (Which I will be trying out this weekend on several projects.)  I hope it is as great as everyone says.

I almost forgot, my sister Jill brought us all a little sussie.  From Red Door in Baton Rouge.  She reminded my sister Joanie and I of our own Aunt Carole.  Every time we had a family get together, oh every year or sometimes every other year (she is in Minnesota we lived in Louisiana), Aunt Carole would always pull out surprises from her suitcase.  What a great memory and one we now can continue from her inspiration.  Love you, Aunt Carole.
