Can't Get Enough...

I just can't get enough of the Leftovers Antique's Shop in Brenham. So, as a treat for my mother, since she'd never been and you wouldn't have to ask me twice to go, we headed out there. It was a nice drive, getting caught up with each other. Since we both work and can't sometimes just have time for ourselves, we talked and talked. The first stop was at a friend of mines antique place. I could spend hours just visiting with her, she's an interesting person. I bought the coolest park bench, green and white metal. I can't pick it up until next week when my husband gets back into town. It weighs a ton, but it has the best crusty and peely look to it. I'll post a pic next week. I also found an ironstone tea pot, a really pretty homemade apron that she makes, a pretty floor lamp, a tea pot lamp, another decorative lamp (it must have been the day for lamps), a tin of old buttons, a pretty girl painting, a McCoy planter, and a pretty floral rose cushion. Here is a picture of my finds:

Our next stop was Leftovers. She was wowed when we immediately walked in. She said "now this is an antique shop"!! (These pics are also for you Theresa since she wanted to come to Leftovers, but Kentucky isn't close enough for her to drive!!):

Our last stop was the Antique Rose Emporium. I could spend hours there walking their gardens and admiring all their pretty flowers. They were having a wedding at the main house. It was pretty and peaceful. If you've never been it's located in Independence Texas, between Brenham and Navasota. It's worth the drive. Here are the pictures I took of the place, and their website is http://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/

Isn't the garden house pretty with my sweet mother standing by it? It's made of old windows. I so want to make one. I've collected old windows for a while in hopes of building one some day.

The garden's are really pretty and I love how they've taken an old fence and enclosed it in.

Their shop is an old house with pretty gardens surrounding it. Can you see the pretty holly hock in front of the house. So pretty!!
