I found so many new places and new things at Canton. I had pretty much tapped everything out before this trip and bought everything that I wanted there. I'm not sure if it was because I went on a Friday and the things I found were normally sold out by the time I got there on Sunday, or if because it wasn't very crowded, I was able to see things I couldn't see in a crowd. Whatever, the cause, I found lots of goodies.
I bought lots of jewelry. This was what I bought at one place. These are fun necklaces that you can add little baubles to.
Here's a close-up of the baubles... The Pink K flips over and is black and white. The Tech bauble flips over and looks different on the other side too. I bought the metal bead chains to wear a single various bauble on, and yesterday I wore the black necklace with the peace one attached. It was very cute. This place was a little like crack, once you started, you couldn't stop! I hope to hit it up again next time and add to the collection.
I got these cute picture holders. I'm not sure where they are going or what photos are going in them, but I stuck a few in for demonstrative purposes. The great thing about these is you can sit them on a coffee table because you can double side the photos.

Of course, I had to get some Tech stuff too... I visited this one cute booth at our Junior League market in November and got a cute t-shirt then. I stopped by their booth at Canton and picked up this t-shirt. When it is cooler, they sell long sleeve lace or burn-put t's to go under them. All they had this month was black, but they are getting in red in the fall, so I'm waiting to purchase a red one.
I got this cute little wall plaque. I don't know where it is going, but it is so slim, he won't take up much room.
I also purchased another necklace that I didn't get a photo of, but it is lots of bright colors. I purchased 3 friends their birthday presents (Fall b-days, but it may get too hot to go back before then) and a wedding shower gift for a friend. I also bought a new bag to carry my school stuff in, but it is being monogrammed and will be mailed to me. I'll take a photo and post once I get that.
So we didn't leave Canton until about 6:00 on Friday night. I called Lola's usual rescuer, Lisa, to come by the house after work and let Lola go potty. The potty break didn't go so smoothly because the fence crew was here working and hadn't put up the temporary fence yet. After Lisa looked everywhere and finally found the leash, she opened the back door and Lola shot out like a cannon ball! Lisa said the workmen nearly had a heart attack. Lola hit the end of the retractable leash and catapulted back. Quite the scene I'm sure. Lola never took advantage of the potty break, and Lisa said she looked pretty put out that Lisa wouldn't let her attack these guys!
I had no idea the fence guys were coming! They had said maybe Thursday or Friday if they didn't get rained out earlier in the week, but it rained all week and they weren't here by 10:45 on Friday, so I had written them off until next week. Poor Lola had to watch out the window as these guys were "stealing the fence" and all she could do was watch and bark. She really wore herself out! She seemed quite traumatized on Friday night. Here is a photo of how tired she was:
The fence guys aren't coming back until Monday. We've had lots of rain again this weekend, so I'm loving the muddy mess I get to deal with all weekend. The neighbors are really helping out with the madness too... you can see they have thrown out a loaf of bread for the birds and Lola is quite taken by all the birds and they're driving her nuts.
I had a wedding shower that I had to attend in Southlake yesterday morning. I had to leave my house at 9:00 a.m. yesterday to make it for the brunch shower. I was so worn out by last night that I looked like that photo of worn out Lola.
