If you're into Pinterest and love all things crafty & decor...you need Warrenton in your life! This two week "antique week" happens twice a year between the small towns of Roundtop & Warrenton. What used to be one of the best kept secrets of South Texas, is now a shopping MUST for women all over the state country! You'll experience miles and miles of fun and unique vendors, including one of my faves, Junk Gypsy, who now have a permanent store front! Check out their story if you're looking for an inspiring read....

Anyway, I always make it at least once a year, twice a year if I'm lucky! This last weekend, my five month preggers bestie and I made the trip to our fave shopping destination. We've learned from our years of experience that you don't go to Warrenton/Roundtop without a list. You end up spending WAY too much money and on things you didn't really need. So, our list for this shopping trip included:
- Hooks or a rack for my dream of an herb garden
- Decor for Baby Hollstin's nautical inspired nursery
And that's IT! LoL- it doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me... its easy to get carried away...Not to worry, we still did plenty of damage! {sorry hubbies Chris & Chris!}

...But how about an herb garden?!? Check out this gorgeous wooden rack I found, with zinc baskets for the herbs! A little moss lining and some seeds, BOOM! SUCCESS! {I'll post pics once this project is complete}
To commemorate where the original Junk Gypsy tent once stood, there is now a fabulous junk-ified photo booth...so of course Samantha and I took advantage of the photo op that presented itself! PHOTO CREDIT: Sweet Mama Neubauer

Thanks!!! BUT, the fact that you have not been to Warrenton is just not OK...I feel like as your friends, we are doing some kind of dis-service to you by not dragging you along to one of the many trips that have commenced throughout the years! Last weekend of September, first weekend in October- lets make a BIG girls trip out of it!
