Wow! It has been an EXTREMELY long time since my last post! It must be because this summer was FULL of fun stuff! The biggest "stuff" of all was helping my mom move to Granbury, Texas from Michigan. We drove all the way there with the car loaded up with her belongings (including her sweet junk!!) with grandparents close behind. Texas was exactly what I hoped it would be: hot weather, delicious food, and TONS of junk! There are antique stores and junk shops everywhere, not to mention all of the amazing jewelry and clothing! It was a junker's paradise.

| {well DuHHHH!!} |
We visited 6th ST. in Austin to check out the music scene and sample some "libations." Austin definitely lives up to it's "weird" reputation, and the food was AMAZING! We ate at the Iron Cactus and had the best meal ever: cornbread stuffed chicken breast with jalapeno cream sauce. I had to write it down so I could remember how delicious it was!!!!
After that we headed to Round Top so I could FINALLY check "Visit the Junk Gypsy Headquarters" off of my bucket list! Talk about dream come true (and the longest car ride ever)!
Not only was the store full of amazing Junk Gypsy merchandise, but Jolie Sikes, one of the Junk Gypsy sisters, was in the store when we visited! We got our picture taken and told her we had come all the way from Michigan just to be there. She was so impressed that she took OUR picture and posted it on the JG Instagram page.

I could have died happy!! All in all, it was a great summer and I found lots of amazing junk that I'm in the process of re-purposing. Be sure to check back for some "junk-tastic" projects!! <3 p="">
