URGENT: Texas Wildfire Relief

Friends, family and fellow vintage lovers. Texas is in a state of emergency with all these fires spreading around the entire state. Please take some time out to share links to my Etsy shop/FB page and blog. We are donating 50% of all our sales through the end of September to http://txwildfirerelief.org/



They are in desperate need of donations! Go to our FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=261633080526443 and it has all the details.

PLEASE spread the word! Even non vintage lovers will appreciate the state we're in and might be willing just contribute to http://txwildfirerelief.org/ They are taking monetary donations via Paypal and credit cards too.

Also, we'd like to share the link to our fellow Texan and vintage seller Maefair Vintage. Vanessa has been hard at work making these kick butt Texas necklaces and is donating $25 from each sale as well! Go to her store and buy one! Thanks Vanessa! We ♥ you!

Thank you to all the brave firefighters, police, service people and volunteers for their tireless efforts in trying to contain these fires and for helping these poor people, their pets and livestock evacuate safely.  Also, thanks to all the people helping with livestock boarding while this is all going on. You all have hearts of gold. I am SO proud to be a Texan!!!!

Things are always bigger in Texas...

We had a great weekend with friends in San Antonio, as you can see in the pics below.  We stayed at the Indigo Hotel.  It was a very nice boutique hotel on the Riverwalk. However, it is at the end of the Riverwalk and not in the best part of town.  That being said, I would definitely stay here again, as long as I was accompanied by my husband.  :)

This is my hubby with his Texas sized margarita...they were pretty tasty, but we should have shared one! They were REALLY big!
















This is a 42" pizza from Big Lou's pizza. Bill and I saw this on Man vs. Food and told our friends about it. We decided to try it out. While there was over an hour wait, it was worth the experience. Quite honestly, I didn't expect the pizza to be all that great considering its size. I was shocked... it was pretty damn good! Our waitress said that each piece was equivalent to 3-4 pieces of pizza! Bill ate 3 pieces...OMG...that equaled 9-12 pieces of pizza! If you're in San Antonio, go visit Big Lou!
