Finds

Antique stores are fantastic. Filled with treasures. Hunting for specific objects. Searching for the best price. Me, I've been shopping for the wedding, looking for vintage table clothes, wire baskets, mason jars, and wooden boxes. While doing this I found things for the house too. Every thing I purchased I wondered about of the journey it's been through and the story it tells.

These finds are from downtown McKinney and Plano, and a garage sale. I'm about to go out Amarillo next month to do some more antique shopping with T.J's family. Something about west Texas, they have great antique stores. Can't wait!

I started cooking again. T.J. has been busy with work and this has sparked my interest. I made a menu for this week. One of the meals I cooked was Thai Curry Vegetable and Tofu Soup. It was delishious!!! And very easy. Try it! Even though it's summer this is a very light soup, stocked full of veggies. I used fresh basil from my garden to add a little on the top.
