Old Town Spring

Sure, Houston is a HUGE town, and there's a TON of things to do if you want to battle traffic, or try and figure out the METRO to get anywhere, or if you want to experience a TON of culture....But there's also a little town within just a few miles of Spring, TX, just north of Houston, where we are at now, that's pretty cool, too...And it's called Old Town Spring.

You can find art galleries, antique shops, collectibles, clothing, furniture, wine, home decor, a little bit of everything in Old Town Spring. There are over 150 shops to browse...a little neighborhood of clapboard buildings and restored houses painted funky colors to brighten your day. Sparky went looking today and here's just a little of what she found.....

Now, don't get too excited, Sherry, but there were hundreds of rubber duckies in the bath/soap shop...Sparky couldn't decide which one to get you! There were ninja duckies, teacher duckies, cowgirl duckies, alien duckies, political duckies--every possible kind of ducky you could imagine!
There was a Texas store with everything Texas inside and out......
Sparky loved the porch swing, but it was just a bit much!
A big ole Amish building full of well made furniture....
Some cute restaurants to choose from....

And cute stores with eye popping colors that just beg you to come in and see what they have....
Love the names of some of them....Like this one....
And this one.....
Sparky was really good today, she didn't buy anything but a little scented bar of soap for her daughter, who LOVES scented handmade soaps just like her mom....No baby yet, it's going to be a week or so, the doctor said....So Sparky and Eldo can venture out a bit more for a few days so we'll see what tomorrow brings!  A move to a different park, that we know for sure.....Bye for now.....
