Well, since I don't travel very much (at all)
I didn't know quite how to handle shopping in Texas
and then getting my loot back home to Georgia ~
All I took was a carry on bag with a teeny tiny amount
of room left inside :)
So what did I do???
CRAMMED IT IN!!
My carry on bag looked like it was going to EXPLODE!
I did shop for tiny things...here are my treasures:
Plus I had several precious gifts from Ann...
a pair of handmade pillowcases and
a pair of handmade pillowcases and
the most INCREDIBLE journal I've ever laid my eyes on.....
I admit it, I cried when she gave it to me ~
please look at how beautiful it is...
please look at how beautiful it is...
Lisa showered me with gifts the ENTIRE time I was there...books,
magazines...and wonderful old goodies she knew I'd love ~
Lisa son Philip even gave me a drawing!!
Here are some of the treasures Lisa gifted me..
beautiful old cabinet cards, buttons, lace and jewelry plus
gorgeous French General fabric that I'd been dying for....
and even a wonderful book that Beth sent her!!!

But these tiny little children's bedroom shoes were what made me cry!!!
So very old, soft and small....
