I love these vintage mug/hat racks. I see all the possibilities like during the holidays and then just day to day stuff like dog leashes, scarves and hats

Remember this one? I picked it up for a couple of buscks at a junk shop. I dry brushed some cream paint and put it up in my entry way. I love it!

Howdy Partners...We're back!

I can't even start to tell you how much "Texas" fun we had. Matt and I were visiting my sister for a few days in Houston. Then we celebrated our 3 year anniversary at the "Houstonian." This was the most amazing resort! The average room goes for 3-4 hundred per night! Good thing we got the hook-ups through my brother. We then ate at one of the best sea food restaurants enjoying champagne, crab legs, champagne, steak and champagne. Hehehe. What a way to celebrate another year of marriage bliss.( Or something like that, hahha)

We then stayed with two of our most amazing friends(Kent and Jana.) They live in the Woodlands. They have a beautiful home and two of the cutest dogs ever! I miss them already.

The four of us were quite active going on nature walks, long bikes rides and kayaking. We even went to a concert in the park. Talk about amazing hosts.

Finally...enough talking about the trip, here are pics of all the Texas fun! Yeeehaaaw
