So yesterday morning after dropping the girls off at school, I did the craziest thing. {Crazy for me because it was spontaneous!} I drove out to the country for some beauty hunting. Just me and my camera. People usually plan these things in advance with girlfriends, but I just felt a sudden desire to get out of the city and enjoy the day!
The sun was bright as could be in the big Texas sky, so not the best conditions for good photography {or my super fair skin}, but for those of you wondering what's out there, here's some inspiration for you!
You can guess which one I loved best!
Of course I came home with more than one.
Hand stamped by Jill Suzanne @ Tree Park.
{See map for specific location.}
Olive harvesting buckets.
You'll see them everywhere, but they're cheapest from the Turkish importers.
{Blanking on the name...in Bar W Field.}
Bar W {same Turkish importers}.
Faulkenberry's @ Bar W.
Spotted in Bar W Field.
{Can't remember the dealer, but mostly French finds...love!}
Concrete designs by Richard Taylor @ Excess.
{Excess is a must-see. Creative, trend-setting, higher end.}
Richard Taylor.
Cutest thing I saw all day...
Brand new baby kittens in Richard Taylor's booth!
{Not even his cat!}
Dave Lennard @ Excess.
{He makes these for Mecox Gardens; they cost less in the field.}
John Norton @ Excess
{Had to buy three of these since they came from Midcoast Maine!}
Olive harvesting bucket-turned-pendant light @ Excess.
More industrial lighting @ Excess.
More my style!
Did you know I collect crowns? Not ambitiously, but as I see them.
{They remind me of who I am...a daughter of the King!}
Moving down the road to Blue Hills at Round Top...
Best restroom in the whole area if you ask me!
{Unless you're a fan of port-o-potties.}
Back to the good stuff...
Wish they had an H like this!
Letters of all styles and sizes were everywhere.
Super long basket would be awesome at the end of a bed!
Bobo Intriguing Objects @ Blue Hills.
Belgian wine tasting table from Bobo.
{I bought it!}
Of course I spy an awesome dining table when I'm not looking for one!
Elizabeth Supple @ Blue Hills.
Elizabeth Supple @ Blue Hills.
I tried to walk away from that big ol' coffee table. {No way will it fit in my car!}
Texted my husband. He loved it...said "go for it!" Even offered to drive
a trailer up next week to retrieve it. What a guy!
Looks like we'll be making a quick trip back!
Maybe on Marburger's opening day?
We'll see!
So how about you? Any plans to drive out to the fields for some beauty hunting?
Happy hunting!
P.S. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your encouraging words about the Franklin Dream. I love that there are so many of you reading along who know how to dream big! I could learn a thing or two from you! No matter what happens or where we live, I'm thankful for this season of dreaming, praying, waiting and trusting. It's been SO good for me!
