You're Invited To Llano

First, I want to thank you all so much for your sweet comments and prayers for my husband.  It was appreciated more than you'll ever know.  It was a quick funeral and it was good to see family that we hadn't seen in a while.  For those that don't know, his parents had separated when Cruz was little and they were no longer together.  Losing them both within 6 months was hard on his family.  Thank you again for your prayers.

Second, I'm not sure what was going on with blogger, it deleted comments I had posted before I left.  Oh my, they screwed up with their maintenance issues, I sure hope they realize what they did.  I had to repost comments as blogger wouldn't let me repost them.  Anyways, moving on.

Lastly, I'm ready to reveal the surprise I've been alluding to, so here goes...

We've taken a space at Binky La Faye's shop in Llano Texas.  I am so excited to be in her shop.  After we returned from our trip to the valley, we decided to go ahead and go the other direction and move into her shop.  We received such a warm welcome and Glenda that was working there just made us feel right at home, even already kidding with Cruz and both Binky and Ron came in on their day off to welcome us.  It just feels like this is a really good move for us. We are really excited about our newest adventure and I so hope if you are in the area you'll stop and check us out. 

When we visited Binky's shop back in April (you can read about it HERE and HERE), I just loved the welcoming feel of this place and of course it was full of wonderful treasures too.  Just the kind I like.  I didn't even hesitate considering a space in her shop.  I started off setting my booth up with a "June Wedding" theme:



The wedding dress has a long train on it and is just so pretty.  There's a stack of bibles and a camera and of course suitcases with a change of clothes, vintage of course, and I know you can't see it very well but there's an awesome Motel sign in the back.  The brides headdress is actually a child's costume skirt that someone had stapled handmade flowers to, probably worn for Halloween.  I just loved that it looked like a veil when I put it on her head, really unusual, but pretty.  The groom had a football ribbon, which is sort of like something maybe more you'd see for a prom, but he "won" his bride.  Good story don't you think.  Of course the bridesmaid, not be in the spotlight, has her mink stole, hat, and sunglasses ready for the event.  Complete with her white dancing shoes (or boots if you will).  There are binoculars so that you can see the guests from afar.  I know I have a wild imigination.




This shelf was fun to put together and was Leftover's Inspired. 


Here's another view.



I tried to bring a variety of it all, from gardening to frames, suitcases, gloves, mannequins, a mixture of things.

In this last picture, there are 4 sets of old golf bags.  Wouldn't they look cute on a door with all kinds of greenery in them.

I'm linking up with Kathleen for her White Wednesday posts.  Please stop over her blog to see all the other participants.  It's good to be back home from a long weekend.  Hope you all have a great week.
