When I tell people that we counted 27 cowboy hats during 10 days in Texas, the usual response is, "Is that all?" It surprised us too, but our tour of Texas was full of surprises.

Antiquing - A Perfect Summer Pastime

Whether you enjoy browsing through old books, antique furniture or fine discontinued china... antiquing can be a rewarding and exciting adventure. As the summer months are approaching, the weather is getting nicer and the serenity of being outside and the idea of an afternoon perusing antique shops is becoming quite attractive. So, put on your walking shoes and get ready for an adventure - an antiquing adventure, that is.

How to make the most of your Summer Antiquing Adventure

Comfort

Plan on walking and standing for a majority of the day, so dress comfortably.

Game Plan

Put together a list of all the antique stores you'd like to visit, their addresses, phone numbers etc. and keep that list handy as you make your way throughout the day.  Not knowing exactly where you're going can be frustrating, so put together a game plan for the day.

Have an idea of what you're looking for

While there's no way for you to know exactly what you're going to come across, be sure to have something in mind that you'd like to fine.   Something as general as an end table, a book by a specific author, or a piece of your discontinued wedgewood china set.  Having something that you're after will at least give you an idea of where to look once you get inside.

Do your homework

In addition to knowing what you're going after, it's also helpful to have a rough idea about how much the item you’re contemplating sells for in different venues.

Ask Questions

Want to know the history behind an item? Most antique dealers have an idea of the time period, history, etc. behind a certain item, so be sure to ask - the story is half the fun!

Don't let it get away

If you see something you like, pick it up and hold it while you shop.  Remember, you can always put it back if you change your mind.  And keep an eye on other shoppers as well, chances are if they are keeping a close eye on you, you've got a sleeper and they're just waiting for you to put it down.

Have an open mind

Antiquing takes patience, so be sure to take your time and have an open mind when it comes to finding new things.

Persistance

Remember, the most successful bargain antique hunters shop with frequency.  Don't giveup after one failed antiquing attempt - if at first you don't succeed, try try again and again and again!

Police block G20 protesters; hundreds arrested
Police are cracking down on lingering crowds in Toronto following a weekend of G20 demonstrations that have led to more than 600 arrests.

Are you one of those people that likes a little bit of variety in your life? While you may like the looks of a lot of things in your home, you regularly move things around to give it a new, fresh look? Is it a monthly or seasonally habit to change things up to suit the current time of year? Well if this is the case you can also employ this type of concept in your backyard with your patio furniture and mix it up as well to make it all look new again. While you may not want to have a bunch of different sets of patio furniture stacked up in the garage that you can rotate out as you feel like you need to change, you can make simple small changes that will make the area look new again. One of the easiest ways to do this is by having interchangeable outdoor cushions.

When you think about it, it's really the cushions that set the color and styles for your patio chairs, isn't it? Sure they can have a plastic, resin, metal or wood base that gives a foundation color and theme of the piece of furniture, but its those cushions and whatever design or colors they hold that set the color and style you're looking for to dress up your backyard.

Many of today's patio furniture cushions are made in standard shapes and sizes. This is good for a couple of reasons. First if something happens to one of your cushions, it makes them easy to replace. But secondly, in order to spice things up in your backyard, this means you can have interchangeable cushions or even cushion covers that let you change the colors and tones of your backyard furniture anytime you want to.

To make sure that you're getting the right thing, you should take some measurements before you go shopping for interchangeable cushions. Measure all of the dimensions of the cushions you currently have and write them down. This means the height width, and thickness of the pieces.

Now you have to decide if you want to have a whole different set of cushions or if you just want to have replaceable cushion covers that can slide over the cushions you currently have. Part of this may come down to being a matter of storage. Cushions are going to take up a lot more space than cushion covers. But at the same time, if you find a set of cushions in a design that you really love, you may not care how much space it takes to put one set of cushions away while you show off the others.

The final thing to think about before you purchase interchangeable cushions or new cushion covers is your environment. Make sure whatever materials you choose are prepared to stand up to the type of environment you live in whether that means sun resistance, water resistance or even resistance to the cold, biting winter weather.

Are you planning to dress up for Cinco de Mayo this year? Many people choose to don a costume of one sort or another for this popular holiday in order to add to the festivity of this Mexican holiday, which Americans have adopted as their own. Just like many people choose to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, you will find a lot of people wearing special outfits for your holiday event. If you're looking for some ideas for what to wear for an upcoming parade, party or other holiday event, then keep reading for a couple of ideas which can help you get into the mood for the occasion with traditional Mexican clothing.

A Cinco de Mayo dress could be a simple peasant dress; this is in fact a very popular type of outfit for the holiday with women. If you happen to be of the male persuasion, keep reading anyway - we will get to some Cinco de Mayo outfits for men shortly. You can find a Mexican peasant dress for Cinco de Mayo from many costume shops, clothing stores, which cater to the Mexican-American community, as well as shops, which specialize in outfitting young women for their quinceaneras. If you live in a city, which happens to have a large Latino population, you may have one or more of these shops close by and they are definitely worth a look. Even if they do not stock what you are looking for, the staff may have some suggestions for you on where to find what you want.

Another traditional Mexican peasant outfit for women is the ever popular long, colorful cotton skirt paired with sandals and a simple white blouse worn off of one shoulder. It is an easy outfit to put together and when you accessorize it with either a hibiscus flower or a green, white, or red tissue paper flower worn in the hair, you have a simple, comfortable, and authentic Cinco de Mayo outfit put together.

Men have a couple of choices as well. While obviously a peasant dress is not a good fit, there are some traditional Mexican clothing items which you can choose to have a great outfit for Cinco de Mayo. For example, you could wear a comfortable and casual guayabera shirt, with or without a sombrero for a relaxed south of the border look.

Another option for men especially is the vaquero (Spanish for cowboy) outfit. Western wear is very popular in Mexico and in many Mexican-American neighborhoods, you will find a western wear shop, which carries Mexican style western shirts, cowboy boots, and other items to create the perfect Cinco de Mayo outfit.

Whether you choose to go with a Mexican peasant dress for Cinco de Mayo or something a little more contemporary, the important thing to remember is that it is not your outfit that really matters. As long as you have fun with friends and family while enjoying Mexican food, drink, and culture, you will get the very best Cinco de Mayo experience.

Mexican food uses lots of fresh, tropical fruits. If you like this recipe, take a look at some of the delicious fruit dishes you can make from Mexico. Plan now for your Cinco de Mayo food. Why not enjoy some tropical delicacies while you celebrate?
