On Sunday, Theresa Cano of the famed Garden Antiques Vintage blog hosted her second blog party at her booth in Warrenton. Fun was had by all...
Check out Craigy-poo looking all suave and debonair in his combination cowboy/hard hat. Hey you never know when you'll need to protect your cranium...
Judy Hill's booth at Marburger. Always one of my favs...
My pal Teresa Smith's booth at Marburger. She's of Time Worn Interiors fame and my new neighbor.
Franklin and Donna's booth at Marburger. They are the nicest couple and we love them both!
Peg and John aka French Vanilla's booth. Always a show stopper!
Fresh from a little retail therapy at Magnolia Pearl~~me and Teresa...
So I saved the best for last. Craigy-poo and Mr. Sweet Pea. Aka poo-poo and pp, two peas in a pod, partners in crime, the "real Marburger boys"~~I could go on and on....

Home Again
Mr. Sweet Pea and I arrived home safely on Monday from our second Marburger Farms whirlwind. I am happy to report that this trip was much smoother than the first, with only one glitch on the way there~~no hotel rooms from Louisiana to Texas due to Ike. So Mr. Sweet Pea stepped up and drove the entire trip there, over one thousand miles, with no worries at all. If there's one thing Mr. Pea can do it's drive for hours on end with no problem~~me, not so much... We had a blast, spent lots of time with our fab friends, and came home with lots less inventory. I hope you enjoy the pics of our booth!
This table was sold to Rachel Ashwell!
One of my fav vignettes~~this table sold to Rachel Ashwell also.

October 2, 2008
By Danny Gallagher McKinney Courier-Gazette
FUNDING: The Regional Transportation Council will fund local road dollars with SH 121 toll revenue.
Collin County will get a huge chunk of the State Highway 121 toll revenues for their own road constructions and repairs.
The Regional Transportation Council approved a measure in August approving the disbursal of more than $2.5 billion in toll road revenue to local counties collected along SH 121, according to records filed by the North Texas Council of Governments.
Approximately $1.5 billion of those funds will go towards projects in Collin County in addition to the $235.6 million the county has in transportation bonds approved in November of 2007, according to RTC and Collin County records.
