Friendship + Thrifting = Fun

I always thought of blogging as just a way to share life, projects, etc. I never dreamed I'd actually make great friends through it but that is exactly what I've found! This past Tuesday, I got to visit my sweet friend Cecilia of My Thrift Store Addiction. The drive was beautiful and scenic as I wound through the hill country to her house.

Once there, I enjoyed seeing all her cute decor in person - her made-over thrift store pumpkins,

the BOO sign, her sweet teacup chandelier,  and her farmhouse light fixtures to name a few.

I am in love with this sweet vignette:

I love how she paired the books with her squirrel!

I'm so going to use your idea, Cecilia! I have a few animal books and figurines that will work! :o)

And how cute is this little chair she hung on her wall:

Everywhere I looked, there was wonderful things to see. Her house is so warm and cozy!

We spent the rest of the day laughing and catching up.

The next day, we were up and ready to hit the thrift stores. First up was St. Vincent's. Right away we found some treasures! Score! From there, we went to a couple of more stores where more treasures awaited us.

Hungry, we headed to Pint and Plow for lunch.

They had the big doors opened so it was like sitting outside. It was very pleasant! Cecilia and I split a salad and pizza...yum!

After lunch, we hit more thrift stores. Kerrville has a lot of them and they all seem to have really good prices. What a fun day - we both found lots of great treasures!

We ended our day by visiting another blogging friend, Audrey of Timeless Treasures, who has been under the weather. I know she would really appreciate your prayers. Her home is delightful and inviting. I love her carved horse!

The next morning, we headed to Fredericksburg where we stopped at a cute little shop named "Smitten".

This quilt-covered bench made the porch look oh, so inviting:

Love this cute wintery display:

And this little pig caught my eye - I can guarantee you, my flying pig will be dressed similarly at Christmas!

 Just a few minutes away was Peach Tree where we headed for lunch:

Lovely Fall Aster filled the flowerbeds with lots of statues. The horse head drew my eye as I have a similar one...hm, maybe mine will find a home in my flowerbed!

Such a charming building!

These stone owls lined the edge of their porch. I wish I could have taken them all home. Aren't they cute?

The food was so good! Cecilia got a sandwich and I chose the special of the day, a chicken salad. Yes, it tasted as good as it looks!

We left full and happy, each with the Mud Dabber chocolate cookie to eat later.

We then went to a couple of antique stores before I had to head back home. We hugged and said our goodbyes, promising to meet for our next adventure. Be sure to check out Cecilia's post here where she shares about our adventure then check back on Friday on both our blogs where we will share our finds.
