This weekend was antique alley in Texas. It is a three day shopping fest that encompasses 25 miles of country road from Cleburne, Texas to Grandview, Texas (
About 45 minutes from the Dallas/Fort Worth area). It is every April and September and I love it! There are so many treasures to be found. The vendors set up booths all along the road in pastures and driveways much like this.
I saw so many unique craft ideas, antiques, and clever ideas to repurpose every day items. I want to share some with you.

What Clever Wheels and Noise Makers |
These are just a few of the items I saw and some I purchased. Don't miss antique alley this fall! I am sure there will be more treasures to find!
I know exactly what you are talking about. I have been to Antique Alley a few times myself. I only live in Alvarado. Where are you from? It would be nice to meet a fellow craft blogger.
