Saturday Treasures

img_5149 What a great Saturday spent in the down town historical district of McKinney, Texas.  There were blocks and blocks of great antique shops, vintage boutiques,  art galleries, cozy restaurants, and much much more.  It took me 3 hours to wander around most of the blocks.  Being my first time (probably will now be my new favorite Saturday activity), I didn’t take much cash with me .  This is always a very wise decision; otherwise, I would have driven home with a ton of stuff strapped to the roof of my car.  I simply enjoyed walking around, sampling the goods of the Mom and Pop shop, and getting great ideas about decorating and gifts.  I did pick up two small items. One was a blue stenciled, enamelware pan, that will look great filled with all kinds of fun things.  The other was an old wooden shelf piece that will look great on our book case.  It caught my eye because it was red AND spiral. SCORE!

See my creative picture attempts.

Getting In the Rhythm is Difficult

I’m trying to find some rhythm to my life that flows more harmoniously with my creative spirit.  Right now everything is topsy turvy and full of challenges.  With the move, dead laptop, and countless, unsatisfying job searches, my creative flow has hit an all time low.  I’m guessing this might actually be a sink or swim challenge from the creative gods, so I’m pushing through.  We went to the Fort Worth Zoo yesterday, and I took some creative wildlife shots.  maybe this will get me back on the road.
