Thankful Thursday

 
 This week I'm thankful for awesome antique/junk/oddities/random stores in obscure towns, out in the middle of nowhere.  You find the coolest stuff and meet the most unique, interesting people!

A couple weeks ago, I went to Waxahachie, TX (just 20 miles south of DFW) and found this cool metal basket thing (meant to hold planters) and made a book 'basket'/'shelf'/'holder' out of it.  It was only $15.00 and it is definitely old, but it's wrought iron, sturdy, cute and I absolutely LOVE it!
I think I like these outings out in the country and in little towns so relaxing because I COMPLETELY escape stress, reality, my job, house projects, the rat race, all of my routines, lists, tasks, obligations, etc.  I just am totally in the moment, enjoying a slower pace.  It's worth more than hours and hours on a shrink's couch!
