discovering discovery

One of our weekend surprises I mentioned yesterday was a trip to the country, specifically a visit to Gonzales, Texas.  It’s one of those middle-of-nowhere Texas towns full of treasures.  Our original purpose for the trip was to visit Discovery Architectural Antiques.  If there is a building that has been torn down, they have all the pieces.  It is the perfect place to find the missing parts of your historical home, or add some history to your new one.  Also worth the drive was the town’s visitor center, which happened to be the old jail — working gallows and all!  There were a few other shops and stops and I may or may not have come home with another typewriter! (Yes, I’ve got a problem!)
