The Cattle Barn Flea Market

OK it was 900 degrees in the shade but, I was about to lose my mind from staying inside for so long soo, I ran up to the Cattle Barn flea market that goes on every weekend here in Fort Worth.

Of coarse there are the usual cowboy hats and boots galore, usually for really good prices. The hats above were under $10! Most of these boots were under $30!

Yep, we have plenty of belt buckles, every kind of buckle you can think of.  I bought the small one with the covered wagon for $3, I have several this size and I plan to make napkin rings out of them as soon as I have enough.

I did pretty good and didn't buy any jewelry......this time.

But it was tempting,

With every tray I walked by!

However, when I saw all these doilies and pieces of lace, 
you could say , ahhh, it was the heat..

I hadn't had lunch, it was low blood sugar....

I felt weak in the knees and had to sit down...in the middle 
of all of these bins,

and thought oh, this is menopause! Yes, that's it! I couldn't help it. It was temporary insanity from the change of life and lack of oxygen to my pea brain! 

Did I need a nurse? No,

instead,I sat next to a refreshing fountain,

thought of all my friends who could use this same excuse,

found a cool breeze,

and quickly packed up all my new found goodies and drove home like a crazy woman before my hubby came home and saw that I had found EVEN MORE lace and doilies!!!!!
