We were gone for 7 days but it felt like 4...
We challenged our suitcases maxing them out at 50lbs
and
carrying the rest!!
Some things just wouldn't fit in our luggage...
There were so many more thing we wanted to buy....
Teasing us at every bend
I needed another hobby like a hole in the head.....
But I could not resist.....
And as if Market and Festival was not enough
we toured to local Stores!!
This vintage quilt was calling my name...
I had the kit in my hands 100 times...
But in the end I settled for the book and pattern!!
In Galveston, Tx we went to the seawall....
It was all we could do not to stay there for the day!!
Terry and Sharon waded into the surf....
Took a moment to write in the sand....
We ate like stuffed turkeys....
At Festival Hill I loved this saying...
Why Dream Ordinary
cvr cotidiana somnies - why dream ordinary |
Festival Hill at Roundtop
was a work of art
having been built in 1981
A modern day treasure!!
After the hurricanes, many big old trees were damaged
This dog was a tree at one time!! |
The tinman |
some talented people carved them into works of art...
A geisha girl |
Dolphins and mermaids
The houses in Galveston were so beautiful...
Bishop's palace....
Fit for a king
I think we need to go back and tour these homes!!
The Catholic Church
The oldest house in Galveston...
Great verandas....
Row Houses....
I felt like we were in New Orleans!!

What seems to be missing is a photo of all your purchases. You are going to show us in your next post, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteI think you should wait until they do their Weyburn Show and Tell!! Ha ha, make you wait!!!
DeleteChrista, How big is that vintage quilt? Is it tiny? I love your photos that you take. Not the actual photos, but your thoughts behind each photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big quilt! I guess I am going to have to do a final Houston post on my treasures!! But I do like the idea of making everyone wait to see it as I deal with it!! Might take a couple of years at this pace!!
