I love the west and, more specifically, I love Texas. I am a true Heart of Dixie, Southern kind of girl, but there is really something that calls to me about the wildness of the west. (Plus the gorgeous, Spanish-influenced architecture doesn't hurt either!)

I definitely have that traveling feeling again, and, coming up in just a few short weeks, there is a really good reason to: the Round Top Antiques Fair! Anyone going?

I hope you all have a happy Friday and wonderful weekend!

Wide open spaces...

I cannot help but have a soft spot for Texas. The people are friendly (the culture mimicking the South in its courteousness), and yet the setting is so different. It is massive, with such diverse landscapes as deserts, grasslands, and forests. Plus, their state pride is definitely something to behold.

But one of the main things I love about Texas is all the wide open spaces there, and the beauty and silence that comes with it. I think landscape architects Ten Eyck capture this aspect of such a beautiful land perfectly.

I hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend!
