Off The Beaten Path- Salado, Texas



Got your attention now, right? 
Haha! I spotted this hand towel at a
gift shop in a town so small you'd
 miss it if you blinked. 
This little town - Salado - was one of the most charming places I visited while on a road trip from the Fort Worth area to San Antonio.

My dear friend Patty, who is a fabulous paper crafter and an even more wonderful hostess/tour guide, suggested we pull off the freeway in order to visit Stamp Salado.
We enjoyed browsing through the fun selection of stamps, multi-media products, and scrapbook paper. After picking up Texas-themed items for the mini albums we planned to make after our road trip, we continued south toward San Antonio. 


In the short time we were in town we saw a deer wandering through someone's yard, two large roadrunners on the hunt, and a young cardinal chirping on the picket fence next to Stamp Salado! There are lots of interesting boutiques and shops lining the main street, and a shallow scenic river meandering through grassy banks at one end of town.

I hope to visit again sometime and maybe I'll even get the chance to dip my toes in the river!
