Road Trip to Dublin - Texas

We went on a little road trip this weekend, through the back roads and lots of cute little towns. We ended up in Dublin (Dr Pepper), Texas.

We took a tour of the bottling plant (not very big!), bought some souvenirs, and, of course, brought home some sugar (not corn syrup) sweetened Dr Pepper. Yum!

Some of the bottles they refill are 50+ years old! If you can somehow collect 18, you can take them in to be filled on bottling day.


And I even found some tin in the antique store across the way - a perfect day!

Ready for Spring in South Texas!

We're getting ready for Spring in South Texas! We finally got just a bit of much needed rain, the temperatures are getting into the 70s and 80s, the grass is greening up and the Mountain Laurels are starting to bloom! I'm celebrating with some vibrant Spring colors. New hearts will be ready in my shop beginning this afternoon, but I wanted to give you a sneak peak!
