Cracker Jack Day!

On the drive home last weekend, I noticed some antique stores and flea markets.

Having no males from my family in the car with me, I knew I had to seize the day.

Each state  we have lived in has such a unique cultural identity.  

Often its pronounced.  

Or, its a little more subtle.  

In Texas, its pronounced.  

Definitely pronounced.  

I stumbled across this antique store... 

With a sign out front like "Whoa Here", how could I possibly resist.  

Armadillos.  Interesting.  As I stood staring at them, strangely, they began growing on me. Weird. I do love discovering new things.

Is pink in your color palette?

So many bloggers show their incredible, unique, awesome finds from forays like today's.

Could this piece count?  

Is there a design spot for this statement?

Oh silly, silly me... I decided to continue on inside of the shop.

Oh my!  Oh my! 

Cracker Jack incredible!

I began panting hard with giddiness. 

The shop was FILLED with Mexican Talavera pottery.

I LOVE Talavera pottery from Mexico.

Wow.

I so enjoy discovering new places each state has to offer.

It was truly like finding the toy at the bottom of the box of cracker jacks!

I patted the tin armadillo as I trotted out with these beautiful finds.  

They are now mine!
