Just went to see Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, and I’m pretty sure me and my sis-in-law were the two youngest attendees by a fairly large margin.

Haven’t posted any thrift finds in a while (and there’s been a lot!). So, here’s a collection of things I got while visiting my family in Bossier City recently.

Bag of vintage scarves for $1.50. All but 1 are silk. Set of 2 Homer Laughlin magnolia platters for $2.50. A framed cross stitch for $1.

Inspiration: Eclectic Fall Finds From Walmart

I’ve mentioned it before, but I will again. I enjoy curating products within a theme. I’ve created several Fall inspo boards on Amazon, but have had the most fun making some that include whimsical and colorful home and decor finds from Amazon, Target, and now Walmart (below).

I think it’s moody and deep, but in a happy and bright way!

Just got back from a relaxing week in Florida. I could EASILY get used to morning (and evening) walks on the beach. Thankful for several of those this past week.

Waco, TX | July 2025 | Part 1, Souvenirs

I recapped our Waco/Dallas trip from a little over a week ago on Instagram (the likes of which I haven’t done in a long time), and I thought I would do the same in a (really) longform blog post. But I haven’t. Simple as that. I still want to, but not all at once. Otherwise, I’d probably be posting it in December. Anyway, I think I’m going to just put out bits and pieces here and there as I feel so inspired. I’ll still have it to look back on that way.

So starting backwards, here’s my souvenirs from our trip:

IN WACO

Magnolia - I got a cute spoon rest. We’ve been here before, so I have a magnet for our fridge and a couple of other things. The spoon rest was the perfect little souvenir.

Dr. Pepper Museum - Again, we’ve been here. My husband got a lot of stuff because he’s a big DP guy, but I just did a smashed penny. Might put a pin backing on it and add to my travel pin collection.

Waco Mammoth National Monument - I got a pin for my travel pin collection.

Homestead Heritage - We’ve also been here. This time, I bought this beautiful matted roadrunner watercolor to add to my bird art wall.

IN DALLAS:

Globe Life Field / Texas Rangers - This was a revisit too, so I have things from here. This time, I got another pin for my travel pin collection.

Sweet and simple things. I didn’t spend way too much. Not everything is “branded.” And I really like it all. Exactly how I like to do souvenirs.
