One extremely hot weekend, I invited two of my friends from Austin to join me in East Texas for two days of junking, eating really bad food and filling up two trucks with enough stuff to keep us all busy cleaning and designing for months.
Four pastures, one junk yard, and an auction later, we had all the 106 degree weather we wanted but we sure had fun. Here's the truck headed back to Austin.
Just in case you can't tell, it's holding two work tables, four chairs, four stools, two flat files, four baskets, a sign or two and I believe at one point, the cat. Fortunately, the cat was soon discovered and returned to hiding in the garage.
Next road adventure, I took The Farmer and we headed to Beaumont, Texas. It was off to a fun library auction and before long I had a trailer full of 16mm movie reels and a wonderful ephemera collection from the historical Terrell Library. Our round trip was fun, but I have to admit, i got nervous when we figured we pulled home close to 4,000 pounds on our 3,500 pound limit cow trailer. But it was work it.
Fun stuff for media rooms and those canisters will be so neat for storage. I'm already sending 20 to Colorado for a Parisian market! I love my friends who always want a bit of the "booty" when it's brought home by the trailer load !
If you haven't stopped by Salvagenation lately, you need to come see all the fun letters being gathered for holiday decorating.

Wow, Vanessa, sounds like fun! And it looks like you got some good booty.
Well that looks like it was a lot of fun. I watch that show on TV now where the two ladies travel the country and "pick" cool stuff.
