Fredericksburg Part 1-"Smitten" with an Old Apple Crate


 My week of mini vacations is finally at an end. I visited family and ended the week with a little road trip to Fredericksburg,TX with my husband. We stayed in a cute little cottage near Main Street. 


I have so much to share with you that i'm breaking my trip up into several blog posts. Today I wanted to show you "Smitten" and the neat apple crate shelf I purchased there.


I was able to meet Shannon from Rusty and Redone, who has a booth at Smitten. Anne from fiona and twig also has a booth in the cottage. It was a wonderful shop, I could have spent a small fortune there. Here are a few photos...



My big purchase at Smitten was this old apple crate turned shelves. I had an empty spot for it in the dining room and needed a spot for my growing hoard of ironstone.











I will end with a few more shots of the beautiful  "Smitten" boutique...








Stay tuned for a tour of Carol Hicks Bolton's new store "Antiquities". It was an AWESOME experience and I was fortunate to meet Carol herself.

Also coming is a post about Fredericksburg's "Herb Farm", with lots of pics too!
***Reminder***
The "Cowgirl Up!" link party starts Monday nights at 8:30

Hi Linsey, love getting to see the photos of Smitten. I'll make it down there someday!! Anne and I had so much fun shopping for her space while she was here, I saw a few things that she'd added. Glad you're linking up at the party!

I feel like I've just been on a little trip to a old fashioned mainstreet and stopped in at a quaint shop.

The pitchers on the top shelf of your crate remind me of a family all gathered together for their family portrait. And ooh, would I like to get my hands on those casters. I love how they are displayed. It's all so wonderful. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos with us.

Hi Linsey!

It was wonderful to meet you~even if only for a few minutes! Darn me, having to run off to get tires!

Beautiful pics of the shop. Thanks for posting them.

I was wondering who made off with the apple crate! Love how you displayed it.

Maybe next time we can visit longer!
Take care~

Oh it is all so beautiful! I just want to climb right in my computer to have a look at all the lovelies!
I am about to start painting some trays with chalkboard paint myself- as soon as I get off this computer that is!

Loved taking a look around! Thanks for sharing.

The vignette you've styled around your apple crate is totally delightful. You've used two of my favorite decorating elements - hydrangea and ironstone.

Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday. Hope to see you again this week.

Blessings,
