A Sweet Find

I just wanted to share a quick post with you
to tell you this....

Look what I found!!!
Aren't they so cool????
I wanted to show off one of the cool finds I got
in Canton.  I have been looking for this set of canisters
for a while now and would you know it, the first
building we went into and right from the start,
there they set, on a table.  It's like it was meant to
be.  Me and the canisters as one.
That made my day right from the start.

Junkin in Canton, TX

So going to Canton this past week-end was
so much fun!!!!!
We took what pictures we could since they
really don't allow you to take any pictures
at all.  (we didn't know that)
But Canton is a great place to shop.
It's covers about a 100 acres of nothing
but vendors selling anything you can think of.
The weather was really nice and there is no
way you can see everything there in one day.

Kettle Corn was sooo Gooooood!!!
This shop here was so darling. 
They sold alot of girly things like 
the old window frame that has the pink crown on it. 
There was also alot of victorian finds.

This shop sold alot of large wood funiture that 
they handcrafted themselves.  
I so wanted to take home a
couple of pieces with me. 
Good thing I didn't bring the truck!!!!

A lot of antiques were sold here.

The shop in the back sold alot of pretty quilts
and the shop up front sold handmade porch
swings right there on the spot.
It was really cool to see how they made those.

I can't wait to go back next month since
we didn't really get to see everything
this time.  There was so many building
full of stuff to buy, buy, buy!!!
Then there is still the outside vendors,
but we didn't get to shop as long because
we ran out of time. So going back
next time is a must!!
