Today I went junkin' again at Lakehills, Texas. That's where Medina Lake used to be, and still is -- at least what's left of it. But the bargains are great even if the lake isn't.
This was a first time visit Treasure Cabin which I'd heard so much about. Ooh la la -- lots of pretty and quirky things are to be had.
The sign speaks loud and clear for country folks ...
I was sorely tempted by this large well designed iron bull which I thought was a bargain for $60. I'll tell you the prices as I remember them ...
The Coke sign chicken was a steal at $28. Look at the cute little wrought iron table behind it ...
So many neat things here; wicker table, bird cage, yard art boat, antique insulators and on and on ...
I drooled over this old sewing machine at just $135, if I remember correctly. That's an old bear trap hanging on the wall and old cans under the table ...
But I took home this table for $25. That's my great grandson Nathan helping me decide ...
Now I'm thinking I should have looked at the things on top of the table a little closer ...
How about these bejewel guitars? They're originals. Only in Texas. I didn't even notice the painting at the top until I looked at the photo ...
I was also sorely tempted by the angel brass fire place cover. I think it would look nice in my yard ...
Along with this beautiful lady at only $25 ...
Old signs ...
So many pretty things for inside and out ...
A few blocks away is Cherokee's Oldies which I've written about before. It's almost like a smaller version of San Antonio's Yeya's. In fact, Yeya's bought a pickup truck load from Rozanne, the owner. I wish I'd got there before he did ...
This iron stove (I think) would look great as a plant stand. Those are rusty iron boots on top right now ...
I don't know what this is either, but I like it for garden decor ...
Lots of cute stuff. Not sure the horse is for sale though ...
Both of these places have Facebook pages if you want addresses and phone nunbers.

Happy shopping! I had a blast. What else did I buy? From Treasure cabin, the table, a gift for a friend and a chimpanzee for my yard. Yes, a monkey; more or less. Been wanting one since I saw the two in Patty's garden.
From Cherokee's a large bevelled plate glass mirror for $10, Yes, another mirror for the yard.
Oh and if you've worked up an appetite there's an EXCELLENT Mexican restaurant right across the road from Treasure Cabin.
Have fun!
