Last weekend I went to one of my favorite antique and garden places in Houston. It Joshua's in the Heights (off 19th Street). He has a huge outside garden shop which specializes in natural and native plants (in Susan's Speak: Very Hard to Kill!) Joshua has really gotten popular in the area for his Water Fountains. He has hundreds of beautiful pots in all shapes and sizes. 
Inside a big warehouse are antiques. I found my first purchase in a "Texas" themed booth. This little red carrier, complete with a Texas license plate, will be used to tote my small garden tools around the yard this spring. 
This cute little table didn't come home with me but I sure did like it!
More Texas "STUFF" from my favorite booth of the day.
They even had some pretty little aprons. If I HAD a Valentine to cook for this year, I would have bought this and pretended to be a funky June Cleaver!
The booth wouldn't be complete without a whole truckload of cowboy boots. I've seen all sorts of crafts created with these.....birdhouses, table legs, part of a vignette...I guess the "Texas Sky is the limit", right? If those Red and Black boots on the top had been MY SIZE I would have scooped them up for an upcoming rodeo.
My creative friend, Susan A, my shopping partner is part owner of an architectural firm. The name of the business is CRE8.....isn't that CUTE...a play on words of CREATIVE....and that they are. They do lots of fun and funky elementary schools and the kids just love their designs. Susan A. picked through this box of blocks and found all the right letters. (HOW could you pass them up at just $1 a block?!?!)
Here's the grouping and color blocks she put together. On my next post I'll show you the garden section of Joshua's! It's a great place to spend an afternoon.
