Last week my husband and I took the kids to San Antonio and Fredericksburg (TX) for our anniversary…. I know something weird about that sentence. Kids….anniversary. Sometimes that’s just what you do when you’re a parent. I keep telling him he owes me Hawaii when they are older, hehe : )
But we did have fun even though my son started coughing and got a little cold while we were there… at least he was calm! We didn’t do everything we planned on, but I did go to the trade days in Fredericksburg. I found this lady who sold vintage finds. Is the stuff I bought really vintage? Who knows, I’m no vintage expert, but I’ll just tell myself they are because it would sadden me a little if she was a liar!
I bought a yard of some fabric and some trims. I have a secret project planned for these : )
I love the shutters. My husband asked me if I was crazy when I bought these shutters. Yes, they are peeling and practically fallen apart, but nothing is a lost cause right?
Now these trims are what my “secret” project is for… how long will it take me to make it? Hopefully not too long, but with our house on the market and going through negotiations, it could depend. eek.
Aren’t they so fun?
Here are a few pictures from the trade days. I love this brooch. It’s so old fashioned : )
and this was just fun to look at!
Being there made me wish I was already in a bigger house and could go crazy decorating : )

I absolutley LOVE old rustic wood…I have an old shutter sitting on my back deck, that is awaiting a cool craft project…for now, it provides a great backdrop behind my fall mums!
I love everything vintage too. You score some good finds there! I came via See Kate Sew and am loving your giveaway over at her site!
Visiting from See Kate Sew! :)
Oh wow what beautiful finds! I absolutely love that lace! :) <3
But they are very and very expensive! I am not sure about every point of view with the purchasing of this, but I know several additional ways to get more money for the purchase. For instance, cryptocurrency trading and using special tools like https://3commas.io/blog/xrp-ripple-price-prediction to get more earnings. And to buy further your vintage for this.
