Rodeo Time

The end of July is here and now it's time for Rodeo Cheer!! I love heading out to the rodeos around Texas. I love the dusty dirt, cowboy boots and spurs, chaps, and the smell of horses and heifers. I know, I know, rodeos are hot and dirty, but who says you can't look like a million bucks?
I just added some new pieces to my website that would look perfect at a Texas style rodeo or your favorite honky tonk.



These boots were made for walkin'.....


So saddle up and ride the bull, but look fabulous doin' it.

Photo Shoot


I am so blessed to have amazing friends who would stand outside in the triple digit heat to take pictures wearing Texas Trash goods. Luckily my girlfriends are jezebels themselves and know how to work the camera regardless of the intense Texas heat.
Here are a few shots from the shoot, can't wait to post more on my all new website that will be up and running in a few days!! I'll let y'all know when you can make purchases online!! 

Here is Miss Laci, wearing a pretty peach slip dress working those cat-eyed sunglasses!
And Jami working her stuff in my grandpa's 1950 model Ford.

Sassy Kacy is modeling my red slip dress and turquoise flower necklace.
Her fabulous bag is sure to the be the envy of all the gals at the slumber party.
My gorgeous friend Amanda is wearing this smokin' hot little pink slip dress. 
This is one of my favorite dresses, "Something Blue". It's made from an old crinoline and slip. The belt is made from hand-tatted baby blue ribbon. 
My mother is always fabulous wearing this little number made from an old prom dress and black lingerie, complete with a cameo pinned up top.
Nothing screams Summer like this vintage floral necklace, "Mann's the Man".
I have lots of new vintage belt bracelets to bring out you inner cowgirl. 




Like mother, like daughter- enough said.
Even Joyce felt her inner Hussie come out in the Texas heat.

The day was a blast from the past!! My next show is in Abilene at the Junk-a-rama sale on July 21st. Hope to see y'all there!!

Bridal bliss. ...

My sweetest friend Katie is getting married to her prince charming in just a few short weeks. My mother and I threw a tea party fit for a princess at my mother's adorable pink palace. Here are some of the pictures of the event.


What party would be complete without vintage prom dresses hanging from the trees?

The back end of my mother's new vintage trailer, complete with window boxes!

Beautiful food table with edible flower cupcakes.

Three generations of the sweetest women ever!

Myself with the bride to be. Katie is wearing a darling vinatge slip dress with "something blue". I made my pink party slip dress and Texas Trash  brooch necklace.

Here is the pink palace where the magic happens, yes it was a fairy tale growing up here.

Even the birds live in a fairy tale place.

Here is the inside of mom's vintage trailer!


Here are the table centers that my fabulous mother decorated using vintage cake toppers and old wedding pictures.


This was a truly memorable event and I'm so blessed to have a mother who is so talented to help me out with the tea party.
If you are interested in hosting a vintage themed party, shower, or tea, call my mother: Angela Burns.
She is the most fabulous hostess in the state of Texas.

East Bound and Down... Loaded up and Truckin'

Let me start by saying that Roundtop Antique Week is simply the grandest event in Texas history. I get more thrilled over rusty furniture, old jewelry, vintage photos, and lace than anything else in the entire world! Ofcourse prom night beats any old high school prom, I've never seen so many gussied up gals drinking whiskey and beer! So here are just a few pictures from my fabulous trip, with my very best friend, my mother.
So Pinky was absolutely the talk of the trailer park. Those big white slide- outs were so jealous of her blushing color and silver wings!
Ofcourse Mother Dearest and I looked fabulous in pink and blue. I love wearing my feather earrings from the very talented Brenda Stewart of Girls Gone Junkin'.

Snapped a quick photograph with Amie from Junk Gypsy prom night.

You wouldn't believe there are more pink trailers in the world, would ya?



And we danced the night away under the big top, well atleast until our boots had enough boot scootin'.
Yes that is a teepee made from burlap and lace. Who says playing cowboys and indians can't be girly?
Many of Pinky's distant relatives were showing off their paint jobs at Roundtop too.

So I guess y'all are wanting to know what we bought, let's just say a truck load full and an elk named Henry.
AND.........





Drum roll please....











......another pink trailer for my mother. Look out world - Double the Trouble. I promise to post more pictures as the restoration begins!! Thank God for antiques, pink trailers, and Daddy for not having a stroke when we told him about the BIG suprise on wheels.
