Heirlooms Antique Shop

This is an amazing store filled to the brim with inviting items. The displays were carefully and cleverly arranged. I spent a lot of $$.....and you'll want to mark this as a great place to shop!


I could have spent days in this store! Inspiration was everywhere....and the big bonus is: the staff is friendly and helpful.

Sweet Tooth Heaven

The Mom & Pop Candy store was an absolute delight. Their welcome prop was a vintage treasure.


















































The store had a delicious aroma and so many choices.








I saw candies that I hadn't seen since I was a little girl.

A Fun Place To Be

McKinney, Texas.....you HAVE to experience the historic downtown!



My traveling companions and I ate lunch at Cadillac Pizza. We had the most awesome pizza ever!



Then we began our treasure hunt. This store had lots of wonderful antique goodies. I loved the old stairs.










Can you imagine just how many foot steps it took to wear down the stair treads....I don't think I would ever want to replace them.




This old building had the tin ceilings, too.








This is a view from above. So what I bought from this store were lots of old cabinet cards. (Photos with advertising on the back).

New Treasures

These are some of the new treasures I found at the Grapevine, Texas convention. I traveled with two awesome art friends, Jan and Barb!




I debated for a long time whether to purchase Teesha's journals. The pages have never been published before and I found them to be very inspirational for my own journal pages! I am thrilled that I decided to buy!



I love "Lost Coast Designs" and I purchased the coolest images. The embellishments were purchased from "A Stamp in the Hand".



Susan from Stamp Diva made a maze book recently with the cowboy/cowgirl theme. I am hooked. I purchased some stamps from her and I found some (above) at the convention. You can view Susan's wonderful Cowgirl maze book using the link on the left "Diva & Friends". Then you can start your own collection!



I love these moulds. I use them using polymer clay...but could also be used with the hot wax. There was such a huge selection that it was difficult to decide!



These clear stamps look like antique lace! I can wait to use them. Won't they be perfect for the paper doll projects... and all the other stuff I make!



These stamps probably have been out there for awhile, but they are new to me. They were purchased from "A Stamp in the Hand". Sets 1 and 2 can be inter-changed with each other.



I love stencils, too. The snowman is for Kimberly!
