This weekend I went to what is called First Monday in Canton, TX. It's a very large flea market that is held Th-Sun. on the weekend before the first Monday of the month. My daughter lives near Canton, and we try to go when I visit her. My sister made the trip with us and we had a great time. I went in search of some wire urns to fill with pumpkins and leaves and place by my door this fall. I saw some in a magazine and couldn't find them for much less than $100 each online. Well, I found this set for $60 total in Canton! I will post a picture when they are autumn-ready!
For a retired coach/principal...my husband is a very talented cabinet maker. Actually, he's a very talented cabinet maker period. Here are some of the beautiful things he's built for me:
My living room fireplace mantle
China Cabinet....you can barely see the decorative molding on the top...
Baking Center with a marble top for rolling dough or cooling candy or cookies.....
Now for the metamorphosis part of the blog....
I found this really neat armoire door in Canton for $20. When I showed it to him, he said that he had been wanting to rebuild a jelly cabinet he made several years ago and that he could use this door on it. Wait until you see the final result. I'm very blessed to have such a talented, husband!

Yes, you are blessed! Beautiful workmanship. Can't wait to see the jelly cabinet!
ReplyDeleteWow! Wish my husband knew how to use a hammer like that! That's why I have Robert the carpenter working on my house much of the time! Guess what? I only live about 30 miles from Canton. I live in Tyler.
