Nature Gifts from West Texas

David and I went to west Texas this weekend and picked up his camper/travel trailer. If all goes as planned, that camper will be my home away from home at the Fall Show in Warrenton. How exciting is that?

Saturday, we got to walk around the land and explore. Here are my finds from this weekend. Nope. No antiques. Nature stuff. We were looking for what nature had to offer for decor.

I found a 4 point deer shed. One old birds' nest that was on the ground. Another abandoned, previously lived in bird nest. I took the tree branch with that one. And then, a part of a yucca. Not sure what I'll do with all of it. I see a lot of y'all with nests in your displays, so I jumped on your bandwagon!

I also found an old bee's nest. David was quite surprised to hear me say that those are "in", too.
This scarab crossed our path. We took pics and let him go his merry way.

David found this skink. I'd never heard of such a thing. It looks like a lizard and a snake got friendly one time and a skink was produced. He kept showing his teeth, so I let David hold onto him.
In an effort to take this t-post home with us, I dug a hole to China. My sister said it looked like I was closer to hades.

David took a different approach to removing a t-post.

But, his remover bent under pressure.

Things are hopping at Primitiques, getting ready for May 16, Poetry Community Day and Blog Party. To those of you who have expressed interest in setting up and selling, I am excited! To those of you who want to make the drive and be my guests at Primitiques and my home, Salute!

Happy Monday!
