MORE TEXAS TREASURES....................


  
You know.....I really am a believer in the LESS IS MORE philosophy....especially as I have gotten older.

But when a girl travels......the urge to shop is so........OVERWHELMING........(O:

Found these shoe forms in Kerrville and Llano.......now I don't really consider myself a collector of anything.....but I've heard that three of anything  makes a collection.
So.....I'm on the lookout !!!!!

I'm also a lover of funky ethnic jewelry......found this little ring in Fredericksburg.....


It totally matches a bracelet I found in Bisbee, AZ last year.


And last.......the carpenter's measure.  When we travel I'm limited to space so I cannot bring my whole supply of art supplies.  I forgot my ruler this time.....so I thought this little gem would fill in nicely.

Again......I'm sorry I cannot visit each of you as much as I would like.......but I am able to visit a few.........so am doing so when the WI FI is super efficient (which is unfortunately not very often).

Leaving Texas tomorrow..,....off to visit my only and FAVORITE aunt in Kansas.

Bye for now!!

    I always consider size when traveling and it is so frustrating!!! I love your pretty treasures! Shopping is very much the highlight of my trips...I try to stay away from furniture!

    Good morning Jo!!!! You are traveling? HOW MAGNIFICENT! I will be gone for 10 days as soon as school lets out next week and I will SO MISS EVERYONE! I will not have access to a computer and I will not be able to stay in touch for a while. As I get older, I too find that less is more: less junk and MORE meaningful or beautiful things, thoughts and habits. Every once in a while, you catch a glimpse of something that you can certainly live with and then you find that many other things you can do without!!!!

    Lovely finds dearest, and also, thank you for visiting me on your vacation, and leaving such kind words.

    Enjoy your trip and come back with some photos!!!!Anita

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
